We investigate black hole formation by a spherically collapsing thin shell of matter in AdS space. This process has been suggested to have a holographic interpretation as thermalization of the CFT on the boundary of the AdS space. The AdS/CFT duality relates the shell in the bulk to an off-equilibrium state of the boundary theory which evolves towards a thermal equilibrium when the shell collapses to a black hole. We use 2-point functions to obtain information about the spectrum of excitations in the off-equilibrium state, and discuss how it characterizes the approach towards thermal equilibrium. The full holographic interpretation of the gravitational collapse would require a kinetic theory of the CFT at strong coupling. We speculate that the kinetic equations should be interpreted as a holographic dual of the equation of motion of the collapsing shell.

A Reverse Black Hole Information Problem
Exact CFT states for colliding particles that form evaporating AdS black holes are constructed, and several coarse-graining maps are shown to convert the exact pure state into mixed semiclassical Hawking radiation wit...

Entanglement inequalities, black holes and the architecture of typical states
Typical states in large-N holographic CFTs exhibit UV and IR length scales set by energy and charges, producing factorization that isolates black holes via a corona of saturated entanglement wedges and extends ETH to ...

Random matrix theory signatures in free field theory
In finite-volume massive free scalar field theory after local quench, spacing ratios of two-point function extrema follow GOE statistics and an extrema-based form factor shows RMT dip-ramp-plateau.

Blackish Holes
Placing a Dirichlet wall just outside the BTZ horizon produces a dense spectrum of normal modes that, in the continuum limit, yields a thermal two-point function at the Hawking temperature.
