Black Hole Information Problem and Wave Bursts

TL;DR

This paper proposes a new perspective on black hole horizons suggesting particles are reflected rather than crossing, which could resolve the information paradox and explain strong astrophysical signals.

Contribution

It introduces a boundary condition change leading to real-valued solutions and models particle reflection and energy gain in an effective AdS space.

Findings

Particles are likely reflected at the horizon, not absorbed.

Reflected particles can gain energy in the effective AdS space.

This mechanism may explain strong astrophysical signals like LIGO events.

Abstract

By reexamination of the boundary conditions of wave equation on a black hole horizon it is found not harmonic, but real-valued exponentially time-dependent solutions. This means that quantum particles probably do not cross the Schwarzschild horizon, but are absorbed and some are reflected by it, what potentially can solve the famous black hole information paradox. To study this strong gravitational lensing we are introducing an effective negative cosmological constant between the Schwarzschild and photon spheres. It is shown that the reflected particles can obtain their additional energy in this effective AdS space and could explain properties of some unusually strong signals, like LIGO events, gamma ray and fast radio bursts.
