A bstract We describe the experience of an observer falling into a black hole using the
AdS/CFT correspondence. In order to do this, we reconstruct the local bulk operators …

A bstract We discuss the construction of bulk operators in asymptotically AdS space-times,
including the interiors of AdS black holes. We use this to address the question “If …

A bstract In this note I elaborate on some features of a recent proposal of Papadodimas and
Raju for a CFT description of the interior of a one-sided AdS black hole in a pure state. I …

In the AdS/CFT correspondence, states obtained by Hamiltonian evolution of the thermofield
doubled state are also dual to an eternal black-hole geometry, which is glued to the …

We provide a simple and explicit construction of local bulk operators that describe the
interior of a black hole in the AdS/CFT correspondence. The existence of these operators is …

In the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, we study several holographic probes that
relate information about the bulk spacetime to CFT data. The best-known example is the …

We review recent progress on the information paradox. We explain why exponentially small
correlations in the radiation emitted by a black hole are sufficient to resolve the original …

A bstract When the bulk geometry in AdS/CFT contains a black hole, boundary subregions
may be sufficient to reconstruct certain bulk operators if and only if the black hole microstate …

We propose an intrinsic CFT definition of local bulk operators in AdS3/CFT2 in terms of
twisted Ishibashi boundary states. The bulk field Phi (X) creates a cross cap, a circular hole …

A bstract Black hole microstates and their approximate thermodynamic properties can be
studied using heavy-light correlation functions in AdS/CFT. Universal features of these …
