The complete gravitational collapse of a body in general relativity will result in the formation
of a black hole. Although the black hole is classically stable, quantum particle creation …

We review the present status of black hole thermodynamics. Our review includes discussion
of classical black hole thermodynamics, Hawking radiation from black holes, the generalized …

A bstract We reformulate recent insights into black hole information in a manner
emphasizing operationally-defined notions of entropy, Lorentz-signature descriptions, and …

A bstract We address claimed 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 …

In this book, Robert Wald provides a coherent, pedagogical introduction to the formulation of
quantum field theory in curved spacetime. He begins with a treatment of the ordinary one …

This paper is concerned with the study of quasifree states of a linear, scalar quantum field in
globally hyperbolic spacetimes possessing a one-parameter group of isometries with a …

This article discusses the intimate relationship between quantum mechanics, information
theory, and relativity theory. Taken together these are the foundations of present-day …

The role played by ultrahigh frequencies or ultrashort distances in the usual derivations of
the Hawking effect is discussed and criticized. The question" would a black hole radiate if …

We review the theory of quantum fields propagating in an arbitrary, classical, globally
hyperbolic spacetime. Our review emphasizes the conceptual issues arising in the …
