  1. The Page curve of Hawking radiation from semiclassical geometry

    hep-th 2019-08 accept novelty 8.0

    Hawking radiation entropy follows the Page curve when quantum extremal surfaces are identified with RT/HRT surfaces in a higher-dimensional holographic dual, making the black hole interior part of the radiation's enta...
