Small corrections to semiclassical gravity and their role in information paradoxes

General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology 2021-05-21 v1 High Energy Physics - Theory

Abstract

In this essay, we qualitatively demonstrate how small non-perturbative corrections are a necessary addition to semiclassical gravity's path integral. We use this to discuss implications for Hawking's information paradox and the bags of gold paradox.
