Description
Speaker: Arnab Kundu
Abstract: In this talk, we will review some recent progress on
understanding how an ad hoc Dirichlet boundary that is placed in front of
an event-horizon can capture certain quantum chaotic features of the black
hole one-loop determinant sector. We will further discuss how quasi-normal
modes are encoded within the corresponding normal modes. We will also
comment on how this emergence of quasi-normal modes is connected to a
notion of "weak" and a "strong" thermalization, as well as associated
thermal features.
