Where are the states of a black hole?

High Energy Physics - Theory 2017-08-23 v1 General Relativity and Quantum Cosmology

Abstract

We argue that bound states of branes have a size that is of the same order as the horizon radius of the corresponding black hole. Thus the interior of a black hole is not `empty space with a central singularity', and Hawking radiation can pick up information from the degrees of freedom of the hole.
