We propose that in quantum gravity one needs to impose a final state boundary condition at black hole singularities. This resolves the apparent contradiction between string theory and semiclassical arguments over whether black hole evaporation is unitary.

  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...

    Topology change in canonical JT gravity resolves the firewall paradox by making the connected two-interior branch dominate after Page time, with gravitational constraints annihilating the firewall branch and identifyi...

    Routing a Deutsch-CTC loop state to a dump register makes the induced map the replacement channel σ ↦ ρ_M with unique fixed point ρ_M; IBM single-qubit data characterize the post-selected decoder branch.

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

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Hawking radiation of a large black hole terminates near the scrambling time under SFT-style nonlocal smearing, producing a macroscopic remnant instead of complete evaporation.

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

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    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.

  6. UV Effects and Short-Lived Hawking Radiation: Alternative Resolution of Information Paradox

    hep-th 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Hawking radiation terminates around the scrambling time due to trans-Planckian stringy effects in GUP and string-field-theory-inspired toy models, yielding negligible evaporation and a mostly classical black hole.
