An argument is presented for the inconsistency of black hole remnants which store the information which falls into black holes. Unlike previous arguments it is not concerned with a possible divergence in the rate of pair production. It is argued that the existence of remnants in the thermal atmosphere of Rindler space will drive the renormalized Newton constant to zero.

  1. Cobordism Utopia: U-Dualities, Bordisms, and the Swampland

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    For 8d maximal supergravity, the spin bordism groups Omega_k^Spin(B(SL(2,Z) x SL(3,Z))) for k=1..7 are computed and each generator is realized by a string/M/F-theory background, some of which are non-geometric.

  2. Macroscopic Black-Hole Remnants in a Nonlocal Field Theory: Towards Hawking Radiation in SFT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    In a smeared massless scalar on dynamical black hole, outgoing particle number drops to zero after scrambling time due to SFT nonlocality, implying macroscopic remnant.

  3. Entanglement Entropy of a Non-Minimally Coupled Self-Interacting Scalar across a Schwarzschild Horizon at $\mathcal{O}(\alpha)$

    gr-qc 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    The O(α) correction to entanglement entropy of a non-minimally coupled self-interacting scalar across a Schwarzschild horizon is proportional to (1/6 - ξ), with divergences that renormalize Newton's constant while pre...

  4. On Thermodynamics of Charged Black Holes, Swampland, and Dark Matter

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 3.0 of 10

    Authors use black hole thermodynamics with dynamical cosmological constant to connect swampland conjectures and approach dark matter via scalar fields and Kaluza-Klein reduction.
