Testing general relativity with present and future astrophysical observations
One century after its formulation, Einstein's general relativity (GR) has made remarkable
predictions and turned out to be compatible with all experimental tests. Most of these tests …

Cool horizons for entangled black holes
J Maldacena, L Susskind - Fortschritte der Physik, 2013 - Wiley Online Library
General relativity contains solutions in which two distant black holes are connected through
the interior via a wormhole, or Einstein‐Rosen bridge. These solutions can be interpreted as …

Black holes and the butterfly effect
SH Shenker, D Stanford - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2014 - Springer
A bstract We use holography to study sensitive dependence on initial conditions in strongly
coupled field theories. Specifically, we mildly perturb a thermofield double state by adding a …

Echoes from the Abyss: Tentative evidence for Planck-scale structure at black hole horizons
In classical general relativity (GR), an observer falling into an astrophysical black hole is not
expected to experience anything dramatic as she crosses the event horizon. However …

Information radiation in BCFT models of black holes
A bstract In this note, following [1–3], we introduce and study various holographic systems
which can describe evaporating black holes. The systems we consider are boundary …

Can environmental effects spoil precision gravitational-wave astrophysics?
No, within a broad class of scenarios. Gravitational-wave (GW) astronomy will open a new
window on compact objects such as neutron stars and black holes (BHs). It is often stated …
