An Apologia for Firewalls
read the original abstract
We address proposed alternatives to the black hole firewall. We show that embedding the interior Hilbert space of an old black hole into the Hilbert space of the early radiation is inconsistent, as is embedding the semi-classical interior of an AdS black hole into any dual CFT Hilbert space. We develop the use of large AdS black holes as a system to sharpen the firewall argument. We also reiterate arguments that unitary non-local theories can avoid firewalls only if the non-localities are suitably dramatic.

Smooth horizons from topology change in canonical quantum gravity
Topology change in canonical JT gravity resolves the firewall paradox by making the connected two-interior branch dominate after Page time, with gravitational constraints annihilating the firewall branch and identifyi...

Dynamical Casimir Effect and Vacuum Friction in the Near-Horizon Geometry of a Black Hole
A quantum Maxwell demon near a black hole horizon loses some work extraction ability for external observers due to information inaccessibility but obeys local thermodynamics and preserves the equivalence principle for...

The entropy of bulk quantum fields and the entanglement wedge of an evaporating black hole
In a 2d evaporating black hole model, large boosts create O(1/G_N) gradients in bulk entropy that move the quantum extremal surface, causing the generalized entropy to follow unitary expectations with information disa...

Modular quantization and black holes
Modular quantization of a single holographic CFT reproduces exact Hartle-Hawking correlators of smooth BTZ black holes in the semiclassical limit while yielding non-smooth stretched-horizon descriptions at finite GN.

Dynamical Casimir Effect and Vacuum Friction in the Near-Horizon Geometry of a Black Hole
In the near-horizon geometry of a black hole, the dynamical Casimir effect is suppressed by a conformal geometric factor and vanishing effective Mach number, causing the transition probability to vanish at the event horizon.
