Spacetime wormholes can lead to surprises in black hole physics. We show that a very old black hole can tunnel to a white hole/firewall by emitting a large baby universe. We study the process for a perturbed thermofield double black hole in Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, using the lowest order (genus one) spacetime wormhole that corresponds to single baby-universe emission. The probability for tunneling to a white hole is proportional to $t^2 e^{-2S}$ where $t$ is the age of the black hole and $S$ is the entropy of one black hole.

  1. Evaporating Black Hole Interior and Complexity Evolution

    hep-th 2026-05 conditional novelty 7.0

    In JT gravity with an end-of-the-world brane, the renormalized interior length — read as subsystem complexity — grows linearly, peaks around the Page time, and then decays exponentially, with growing relative fluctuat...

  2. Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Berry curvature of BPS states is random-matrix-like for supersymmetric black hole microstates but non-random and often zero for horizonless geometries, offering a chaos diagnostic in degenerate sectors.

  3. Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

  4. Evaporating Black Hole Interior and Complexity Evolution

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In a JT gravity model with an EoW brane, black hole interior complexity grows linearly until the Page time then decays exponentially, with fluctuations growing large afterward and signaling loss of self-averaging.

  5. Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Establishes a threefold duality linking Krylov complexity growth rate to wormhole velocity and proper momentum in DSSYK holography, with higher moments capturing replica wormholes and Krylov entropy equaling parent-ge...

  6. Krylov Complexity

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.
