Advances in 2D Holography - Addressing the Black Hole Information Paradox and Beyond - Lecture 5

Explore the final lecture in a five-part course on advances in 2D holography, focusing on addressing the black hole information paradox and beyond. Delve into how quantum effects in the gravitational path integral have provided an accurate picture of black hole behavior near extremality. Examine the significant role of JT gravity modes in causing large fluctuations and substantial corrections to black hole entropy. Investigate JT gravity as a toy model of holography, exploring its relationship with matrix integrals. Learn how this model can address various versions of the black hole information paradox. Gain insights from Stanford University researcher Luca Iliesiu in this comprehensive 2-hour 33-minute lecture, which concludes the course by tying together concepts from previous sessions and pushing the boundaries of our understanding of black hole physics and holography.
