These lectures give an introduction to the quantum physics of black holes, including recent
developments based on quantum information theory such as the firewall paradox and its …

We review the holographic correspondence between field theories and string/M theory,
focusing on the relation between compactifications of string/M theory on Anti-de Sitter …

In this paper we use the AdS/CFT correspondence to refine and then establish a set of old
conjectures about symmetries in quantum gravity. We first show that any global symmetry …

A bstract We argue that the late time behavior of horizon fluctuations in large anti-de Sitter
(AdS) black holes is governed by the random matrix dynamics characteristic of quantum …

Computational complexity is essential to understanding the properties of black hole
horizons. The problem of Alice creating a firewall behind the horizon of Bob's black hole is a …

Very recently, it was suggested that combining the swampland program with the smallness
of the dark energy and confronting these ideas to experiment lead to the prediction of the …

The correspondence between supergravity (and string theory) on $ AdS $ space and
boundary conformal field theory relates the thermodynamics of ${\cal N}= 4$ super Yang …

String theory is one of the most exciting and challenging areas of modern theoretical
physics. This book guides the reader from the basics of string theory to recent developments …

A bstract Many proposed quantum mechanical models of black holes include highly non-
local interactions. The time required for thermalization to occur in such models should reflect …

If the fundamental Planck scale is of order of a TeV, as is the case in some extra-dimension
scenarios, future hadron colliders such as the CERN Large Hadron Collider will be black …
