Bit models of replica wormholes (2211.04513v1)
Published 8 Nov 2022 in hep-th and gr-qc
Abstract: We define bit models of evaporating black holes which incorporate the effects of replica wormholes. These enter as non-perturbative corrections to the gravitational inner product, arising from spacetime wormholes that connect replica black holes. The resulting models have exactly unitary evolution, predict measurements on Hawking radiation in accord with a Page curve for entropy, and are compatible with a smooth horizon for infalling observers.
