Alternative theory for the quantum black hole and the temperature of its quantum radiation
Gerard t Hooft

TL;DR
This paper proposes a new gravitational mechanism explaining black hole information transfer and predicts the radiation temperature to be twice Hawking's original calculation, challenging existing black hole thermodynamics.
Contribution
It introduces a calculable gravitational effect mechanism that preserves information and revises the black hole radiation temperature to twice Hawking's value.
Findings
Information is transferred via a gravitational effect without involving the hidden region.
The radiation temperature is predicted to be twice Hawking's original estimate.
The mechanism avoids the involvement of the black hole's hidden region.
Abstract
A mechanism is found that explains how matter falling into the future event horizon of a black hole leaves information there, which it sends to the past event horizon, and there it determines how particles are emitted. This way information must be conserved. The mechanism is a calculable gravitational effect. We also show how it is avoided that the "hidden region" of the black hole gets involved, which has been standing out as a problem ever since Hawking found that particles must be emitted. The most striking consequence of our mechanism is that the radiation temperature is not what Hawking calculated, but twice that value. This is a direct consequence of the fact that the hidden region is not there.
