It has been suggested in recent work that the Page curve of Hawking radiation can be recovered using computations in semi-classical gravity provided one allows for "islands" in the gravity region of quantum systems coupled to gravity. The…

Information located in an entanglement island in semiclassical gravity can be nonperturbatively reconstructed from distant radiation, implying a radical breakdown of effective field theory. We show that this occurs well outside of the black…

Great breakthrough in solving black hole information paradox took place when semiclassical island rule for entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation was proposed in recent years. Up to now, most papers which discussed island rule of…

We point out a loophole problem in some recent experimental claims to produce three-particle entanglement. The problem consists in the question whether mixtures of two-particle entangled states might suffice to explain the experimental…

Black hole spacetimes that exhibit integrable singularities have gained considerable interest as alternatives to both regular and singular black holes. Unlike most known regular black hole solutions, these models evade the formation of an…

Exploring the inverse problem tied to the Page curve phenomenon and island paradigm, we investigate the geometric conditions underpinning black hole evaporation where information is preserved and islands manifest, giving rise to the…

We consider a perturbation of the Anosov-type system, which leads to the appearance of a hierarchical set of islands-around-islands. We demonstrate by simulation that the boundaries of the islands are sticky to trajectories. This phenomenon…

Following our previous work on hybrid quantum states in the RST model, we study its most interesting solution representing a completely regular spacetime with the structure of causal diamond, containing an apparent horizon and radiation at…

We consider the nonlinear energy conditions and their quantum extensions. These new energy conditions behave much better than the usual pointwise energy conditions in the presence of semiclassical quantum effects. Analogous quantum…

A phenomenon of emergence of stability islands in phase-space is reported for two periodic potentials with tiling symmetries, one square and the other hexagonal, inspired by bidimensional Hamiltonian models of optical lattices. The…

The information loss paradox is often presented as an unavoidable consequence of well-established physics. However, in order for a genuine paradox to ensue, not-trivial assumptions about, e.g., quantum effects on spacetime, are necessary.…

We study the redundancies in the global spacetime description of the eternally inflating multiverse using the quantum extremal surface prescription. We argue that a sufficiently large spatial region in a bubble universe has an entanglement…

We present sufficient conditions for the existence of forced oscillations in non-autonomous mechanical systems. Previously, similar results were obtained for systems with friction. Presented results hold both for systems with and without…

We first show that the intrinsic, geometrical structure of a dynamical horizon is unique. A number of physically interesting constraints are then established on the location of trapped and marginally trapped surfaces in the vicinity of any…

We provide a necessary and sufficient condition for existence of Gaussian cubature formulas. It consists of checking whether some overdetermined linear system has a solution and so complements Mysovskikh's theorem which requires computing…

Black holes have the peculiar and intriguing property of having an event horizon, a one-way membrane causally separating their internal region from the rest of the Universe. Today astrophysical observations provide some evidence for the…

In the context of noncommutative black holes, we reconsider the island rule and reproduce the Page curve. Since the radiation entropy of the noncommutative black hole will eventually diverge in the absence of islands, it is crucial to…
