Hi all,
Tomorrow Sébastien Garmier will tell us about his semester thesis entitled 'The Black Hole Information Loss Paradox in the Context of Analogue Gravity'. See below for the abstract. The talk will take place at 1.30pm in HIT E 41.1 or on Zoom: https://ethz.zoom.us/j/362994444.
Best, Ladina
Titel: The Black Hole Information Loss Paradox in the Context of Analogue Gravity
Abstract: We investigate the possibility of approaching the black hole information loss paradox from the point of view of analogue gravity models. More generally, we ask whether analogue models can at all make inferences about gravity. To this end we give an introduction to black holes, the black hole information loss paradox, and analogue gravity models, before attempting to formulate the information loss paradox in the context of analogue gravity. We find that crucially, the notion of black hole entropy is missing, placing a discussion of the paradox in that context out of reach. Simultaneously, we argue based on the ubiquity and generality of analogue models, that they are unlikely to possess deep connections with gravity.
