Abstract
We discuss a doubly-holographic prescription for black holes in braneworlds with a vanishing cosmological constant. It involves calculating Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces in AdS black funnel spacetimes attached to braneworld black holes in the critical Randall- Sundrum II model. Critical braneworlds have the virtue of having massless gravitons. Our approach should be useful when the braneworld is a cosmological black hole interacting with deconfined, large-N matter. In higher dimensions, explicit funnel metrics will have to be constructed numerically — but based on the general structure of the geometry, we present a natural guess for where one might find the semi-classical island. In a 3-dimensional example where a toy analytic black funnel is known, we can check our guess by direct calculation. We argue that this resolves a version of the information paradox in these braneworld systems, by finding strong evidence for “cosmological islands”. Comoving Ryu-Takayanagi surfaces and associated UV cut-offs on the brane, play natural roles.
