Fuzzy spaces topology change as a possible solution to the black hole information loss paradox

The black hole information loss paradox is one of the most intricate problems in modern theoretical physics. A proposal to solve this is one related with topology change. However it has found some obstacles related to unitarity and cluster decomposition (locality). In this Letter we argue that modelling the black hole's event horizon as a noncommutative manifold – the fuzzy sphere – we can solve the problems with topology change, getting a possible solution to the black hole information loss paradox.     

Entropy and topology of the Kerr—de Sitter black hole

By using the path integral method of Gibbons and Hawking, the entropy of the Kerr-de Sitter black hole is investigated under the microcanonical ensemble. We find that the entropy is one eighth the sum of the products of the Euler number of its cosmological horizon and event horizon with their respective areas. It is shown that the origin of the entropy of the black hole is related to the topology of its instanton.     

Linking the trans-Planckian and information loss problems in black hole physics

The trans-Planckian and information loss problems are usually discussed in the literature as separate issues concerning the nature of Hawking radiation. Here we instead argue that they are intimately linked, and can be understood as “two sides of the same coin” once it is accepted that general relativity is an effective field theory.     

Realistic clocks, universal decoherence, and the black hole information paradox

Ordinary quantum mechanics is formulated on the basis of the existence of an ideal classical clock external to the system under study. This is clearly an idealization. As emphasized originally by Salecker and Wigner and more recently by others, there exist limits in nature to how "classical" even the best possible clock can be. With realistic clocks, quantum mechanics ceases to be unitary and a fundamental mechanism of decoherence of quantum states arises. We estimate the rate of the universal loss of unitarity using optimal realistic clocks. In particular, we observe that the rate is rapid enough to eliminate the black hole information puzzle: all information is lost through the fundamental decoherence before the black hole can evaporate. This improves on a previous calculation we presented with a suboptimal clock in which only part of the information was lost by the time of evaporation.     

Nonsingular black hole

We consider the Schwarzschild black hole and show how, in a theory with limiting curvature, the physical singularity “inside it” is removed. The resulting spacetime is geodesically complete. The internal structure of this nonsingular black hole is analogous to Russian nesting dolls. Namely, after falling into the black hole of radius \(r_{g}\), an observer, instead of being destroyed at the singularity, gets for a short time into the region with limiting curvature. After that he re-emerges in the near horizon region of a spacetime described by the Schwarzschild metric of a gravitational radius proportional to \(r_{g}^{1/3}\). In the next cycle, after passing the limiting curvature, the observer finds himself within a black hole of even smaller radius proportional to \(r_{g}^{1/9}\), and so on. Finally after a few cycles he will end up in the spacetime where he remains forever at limiting curvature.     

Mining a charged black hole and the third law of black hole thermodynamics

We consider the rate at which energy can be extracted from a charged black hole using the mining process developed by Unruh and Wald. It is shown that for a Reissner-Nordström black hole the mining rate depends on the mass of the hole (unlike in the Schwarzschild case) and goes to zero asT ^BH 0. We also argue that it is impossible to achieveT _BH=0 in a finite time by mining.     

Recovering information borne by quanta that crossed the black hole event horizon

In this essay we discuss how the statistics of quantum particles, namely, stimulated emission for bosons and the exclusion principle for fermions, provide mechanisms for correlating the radiations impinging and emanating from a black hole. In either case, the information originally borne by the incoming radiation that is partially transferred to the outging radiation is estimated within the framework of communication theory.     

Black hole quantum tunnelling and black hole entropy correction

The Parikh–Wilczek tunnelling framework, which treats Hawking radiation as a tunnelling process, is investigated once more in this work. The first order correction, the log-corrected entropy-area relation, emerges naturally in the tunnelling picture if we consider the emission of a spherical shell. The second order correction to the emission rate for the Schwarzschild black hole is also calculated. At this level, the entropy of the black hole will contain three parts: the usual Bekenstein–Hawking entropy, a logarithmic term and an inverse area term. We find that the coefficient of the logarithmic term is −1. Thus, apart from a coefficient, our correction to the black hole entropy is consistent with that calculated in loop quantum gravity.
