    Semi-Classical Black Hole Holography 
    Schneiderbauer, Lukas (University of Iceland, School of Engineering and Natural Sciences, Faculty of Physical Sciences, 2020-09)
    This thesis discusses two aspects of semi-classical black holes. First, a recently improved semi-classical formula for the entanglement entropy of black hole radiation is examined. This entropy is an indicator of information loss and determines ...
