A new description of black hole explored from chaos

Project Gist

Elucidation of the information loss problem of black holes from the study of chaos

Keywords

chaos, black hole, information loss problem, string theory

Background and Purpose

Black holes are among the most enigmatic of celestial bodies because their gravitational pull is so strong that even light cannot escape. Black holes are thought to emit information about objects that have fallen inside them through a process called Hawking radiation. However, the mechanism for recovering that information has not yet been elucidated. The purpose of this research is to search for a new picture of the internal structure of this black hole from the viewpoint of “chaos” by integrating expertise in elementary particle physics, nonlinear dynamics, and applied chaos.

Project Achievements

By bringing together experts in elementary particle theory, nonlinear dynamics, and applied chaos and sharing their expertise, we were able to discover new various directions for joint research on the relationship between black holes and chaos. In addition, using the budget of this research project, we held an international conference that also served as a research exchange with National Taiwan University, and we were able to strengthen cooperation and launch new collaborations.

Future Prospects

In the research group formed through this research project, we would like to continue to hold regular meetings for research exchange, share the latest specialized knowledge related to chaos and black holes, and promote joint research. In addition, in order to maintain and further expand this research base, we would like to aim to acquire another large-scale financial resource such as KIBAN A as an alternative one to SPIRITS.
