Small corrections to semiclassical gravity and their role in information paradoxes

TL;DR

This paper argues that small non-perturbative corrections are essential to semiclassical gravity, impacting the understanding of black hole information paradoxes and related paradoxes.

Contribution

It introduces the importance of small non-perturbative corrections in semiclassical gravity and discusses their implications for black hole information paradoxes.

Findings

Small non-perturbative corrections are necessary in semiclassical gravity.

Implications for Hawking's information paradox are discussed.

Connections to the bags of gold paradox are explored.

Abstract

In this essay, we qualitatively demonstrate how small non-perturbative corrections are a necessary addition to semiclassical gravity's path integral. We use this to discuss implications for Hawking's information paradox and the bags of gold paradox.
