The Devil in the (Implicit) Details. On the AMPS Paradox and its Resolution

TL;DR

This paper examines the firewall paradox in black hole physics, proposing a resolution strategy that involves non-local connections consistent with the ER=EPR conjecture, emphasizing the importance of causal structure and non-locality.

Contribution

It introduces a new conceptual approach to resolving the firewall paradox by incorporating non-local connections within the framework of the ER=EPR conjecture.

Findings

Non-local connections are essential for resolving the firewall paradox.

A concrete implementation of the resolution strategy is demonstrated in physical models.

The approach emphasizes the role of causal structure in black hole information paradoxes.

Abstract

The black hole information loss paradox has long been one of the most studied and fascinating aspects of black hole physics. In its latest incarnation, it takes the form of the firewall paradox. In this paper, we first give a conceptually oriented presentation of the paradox, based on the notion of causal structure. We then suggest a possible strategy for its resolutions and see that the core idea behind it is that there are connections that are non-local for semiclassical physics, which have to be taken into account when studying black holes. We see how to concretely implement this strategy in some physical models connected to the ER=EPR conjecture.
