Description
In this talk I will present some recent progress in studying
thermalisation in low-dimensional systems with holographic
duals. Firstly I will describe first-principles field theory
calculations in pure states dual to collapsing black holes,
highlighting the role of non-perturbative corrections in the
information-loss problem. Secondly, I will show how
eigenstate thermalisation supplies a unifying perspective on
many aspects of holographic thermalisation, and in
particular on the relation between pure states and bulk
geometry.
