The Bardeen and Hayward spacetimes are here considered as standard configurations of spherically symmetric regular black holes. Assuming the thermodynamics of such objects to be analogous to standard black holes, we compute the island…
We study an analogue information paradox in acoustic black holes which are emerged from the superfluid surrounding a Schwarzschild black hole. The resulting acoustic black hole contains both acoustic horizons and optical horizon, with…
We study the information paradox of Reissner-Nordstr${\ddot{o}}$m anti-de Sitter (RN-AdS$_{d+1}$) black holes in the large dimension limit by using the island formula. The entanglement entropy of Hawking radiation is calculated both for the…
It is usually thought that the efolds number of inflation must be bounded by its de Sitter entropy, otherwise we will have an information paradox. However, in light of the island rule for computing the entanglement entropy, we show that…
In this paper, we study the fine structure of entanglement in holographic two-dimensional boundary conformal field theories (BCFT) in terms of the spatially resolved quasilocal extension of entanglement entropy - entanglement contour. We…
We study the Page curve for asymptotically flat eternal Schwarzschild black holes in four and higher spacetime dimensions. Before the Page time, the entanglement entropy grows linearly in time. After the Page time, the entanglement entropy…
We study a thermofield double type entangled state on two disjoint universes $A$ and $B$, where one of the universes is asymptotically flat containing a black hole. As we increase the entanglement temperature, this black hole receives…
Recent work has demonstrated the need to include contributions from entanglement islands when computing the entanglement entropy in QFT states coupled to regions of semiclassical gravity. We propose a new formula for the reflected entropy…
We investigate the appearance of islands when a closed universe with gravity is entangled with a non-gravitating quantum system. We use braneworlds in three-dimensional multiboundary wormhole geometries as a model to explore what happens…
We systematically calculate the quantum extremal surface (QES) associated with Hawking radiation for general $D$-dimensional ($D\geq2$) asymptotically flat (or AdS) eternal black holes using the island formula. We collect the Hawking…
This study focuses on the examination of the island rule within the context of four-dimensional Reissner-Nordstr\"om-AdS (4D RN-AdS) black holes, illuminating the intricate relationship between the entanglement entropy and phase transitions…
If the evaporation of a black hole formed from a pure state is unitary, the entanglement entropy of the Hawking radiation should follow the Page curve, increasing from zero until near the halfway point of the evaporation, and then…
The holographic duals of Entanglement of Purification through the Entanglement Wedge Cross Section has been a well-discussed topic in the literature recently. More general entanglement measures involving multipartite information and their…
Hawking's discovery that black holes can evaporate through radiation emission has posed a number of questions that with time became fundamental hallmarks for a quantum theory of gravity. The most famous one is likely the information…
Black hole islands are usually diagnosed through the von Neumann entropy, but the full replica saddle contains more information than survives in the limit $n \to 1$. In this paper we show that the capacity of entanglement can detect that…
Recent works have suggested that the entanglement wedge of Hawking radiation coming from an AdS black hole, will include an island inside the black hole interior after the Page time. In this paper, we propose a concrete way to extract the…
Variants of the black hole information paradox are studied in Type IIB string theory setups that realize four-dimensional gravity coupled to a bath. The setups are string theory versions of doubly-holographic Karch/Randall brane worlds,…
We study the entanglement entropy of a subsystem in contact with symmetrical bath where the complete system lives on the boundary of AdS3 spacetime. The system-A is taken to be in the middle of the bath system-B and the full system is taken…
Entanglement islands play a crucial role in our understanding of how Hawking radiation encodes information in a black hole, but their relevance in cosmological spacetimes is less clear. In this paper, we continue our investigation of…
Entanglement islands resolve the AMPS firewall paradox in a region-dependent manner by modifying the entanglement wedge of Hawking radiation. We investigate whether this resolution can be made universal, in the sense that a single compact…
