Late-time dominance of entanglement islands plays a critical role in addressing the information paradox for black holes in AdS coupled to an asymptotic non-gravitational bath. A natural question is how this observation can be extended to gravitational systems. To gain insight into this question, we explore how this story is modified within the context of Karch-Randall braneworlds when we allow the asymptotic bath to couple to dynamical gravity. We find that because of the inability to separate degrees of freedom by spatial location when defining the radiation region, the entanglement entropy of radiation emitted into the bath is a time-independent constant, consistent with recent work on black hole information in asymptotically flat space. If we instead consider an entanglement entropy between two sectors of a specific division of the Hilbert space, we then find non-trivial time-dependence, with the Page time a monotonically decreasing function of the brane angle -- provided both branes are below a particular angle. However, the properties of the entropy depend discontinuously on this angle, which is the first example of such discontinuous behavior for an AdS brane in AdS space.

  1. Massless Islands in Wedge Holography

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    A unitary defect CFT at the wedge corner supplies an auxiliary holographic entropy term that balances area variations and enables stable non-horizon islands in massless ghost-free wedge holography.

  2. Topological charge and black hole photon spheres in massive gravity

    gr-qc 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In dRGT massive gravity, static spherically symmetric black holes exhibit zero, one, or two photon spheres whose topological charges and stability patterns differ from Einstein gravity and from horizonless compact objects.

  3. Covariant Locally Localized Gravity and vDVZ Continuity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In the Karch-Randall braneworld the zero-graviton-mass limit of the one-loop partition function is a massless graviton plus a decoupled massive vector, not the pure Randall-Sundrum II model.

  4. Entropy bound and the non-universality of entanglement islands

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Universal compact entanglement islands are obstructed by an entropy bound violation, implying region-dependent interior reconstruction.

  5. Large-c BCFT Entanglement Entropy with Deformed Boundaries from Emergent JT Gravity

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    At large central charge, BCFT von Neumann entropy with deformed boundaries is reproduced by island entropy in an emergent JT gravity setup with transparent boundary conditions set by the deformation.

  6. On Black Holes Surrounded by Radiation II: Thermodynamics

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Hillingar black holes thermodynamically mimic ordinary black holes of mass M, sharing temperature and entropy under thermal equilibrium.

  7. Quasinormal modes of the thick braneworld in $f(T)$ gravity

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In a thick braneworld model with f(T) = T + α T², the parameter α induces brane splitting and alters the decay rates of quasinormal modes, with two numerical methods agreeing on the low-overtone spectrum.

  8. Two-scalar-field $f(R)$ Thick Branes, Gravitational Resonances and Quasinormal Modes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    In ghost-free two-scalar f(R) thick branes, internal structure produces no narrow real-axis tensor resonances; quasinormal modes are broad with quality factors 0.9-1.9.

  9. Implication of dressed form of relational observable on von Neumann algebra

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    Dressed relational observables imply quasi-de Sitter space corresponds to Type II_∞ von Neumann algebra with diverging trace in the gravity decoupling limit, unlike the finite-trace Type II_1 algebra for de Sitter space.
