Description
The construction of an infinite family of microstates for double-sided black holes in general relativity with a negative cosmological constant has opened a new avenue for investigating black hole properties. These microstates, characterized by shells of matter located behind the horizon, provide a powerful framework for probing the structure of the black hole Hilbert space, including its dimensionality. Using this approach, we demonstrate the factorization of the Hilbert space associated with double-sided black holes, examine out-of-equilibrium fluctuations of black holes, and discuss corrections arising from matter coupled to gravity.
