Abstract |
Black holes appear to lead to information loss, thus violating one of the fundamental tenets of Quantum
Mechanics. Recent Information-Theory-based arguments imply that information loss can only be avoided if at
the scale of the black hole horizon there exists a structure (commonly called fuzzball or firewall) that allows
information to escape. I will discuss the highly-unusual properties that this structure must have and how
these properties emerge in the realization of this structure in String Theory via branes, fluxes and topology. I
will then describe the implication of this structure for AdS_2 holography. |
