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.
