Semiclassical Wormholes toward Typical Entangled States

Abstract

What do the typical entangled states of two black holes look like? Do they contain semiclassical interiors? We approach these questions constructively, providing ensembles of states that densely explore the black hole Hilbert space. The states contain very long Einstein-Rosen caterpillars : semiclassical wormholes with large numbers of matter inhomogeneities. Distinguishing these ensembles from the typical entangled states of the black holes is hard. We quantify this by deriving the correspondence between a microscopic notion of quantum randomness and the geometric length of the wormhole. This formalizes a “complexity = geometry” relation.

Kerr effective black hole geometries in supergravity

We derive the explicit embedding of the effective Kerr spacetimes, which are pertinent to the vanishing of static Love numbers, soft hair descriptions of Kerr black holes, and low-frequency scalar-Kerr scattering amplitudes, as solutions within 𝑁 = 2 supergravity. These spacetimes exhibit a hidden 𝑆⁢𝐿⁡(2,𝑅) × 𝑈⁡(1) or 𝑆⁢𝑂⁡(4,2) symmetry resembling the so called subtracted geometries with 𝑆⁢𝐿⁡(2,𝑅) × 𝑆⁢𝐿⁡(2,𝑅) symmetry, which accurately represent the near-horizon geometry of Kerr black holes and, as we will argue most accurately represents the internal structure of the Kerr black hole. To quantify the differences among the effective Kerr spacetimes, we compare their physical quantities, internal structures, and geodesic equations. Although their thermodynamic properties, including entropy, match those of Kerr, our study uncovers significant differences in the interiors of these effective Kerr solutions. A careful examination of the internal structure of the spacetimes highlights the distinctions between various effective Kerr geometries and their quasinormal spectra.
