String Theory and Black Hole Complementarity
Is string theory relevant to the black hole information problem? This is an
attempt to clarify some of the issues involved. Presented at Strings '95.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX, 2 epsf figure
The Black Hole Information Problem
The black hole information problem has been a challenge since Hawking's
original 1975 paper. It led to the discovery of AdS/CFT, which gave a partial
resolution of the paradox. However, recent developments, in particular the
firewall puzzle, show that there is much that we do not understand. I review
the black hole, Hawking radiation, and the Page curve, and the classic form of
the paradox. I discuss AdS/CFT as a partial resolution. I then discuss black
hole complementarity and its limitations, leading to many proposals for
different kinds of `drama.' I conclude with some recent ideas.Comment: 45 pages. Presented at the 2014-15 Jerusalem Winter School and the
