    A Page curve for an evaporating black hole in asymptotically flat spacetime is computed by adapting the Quantum Ryu-Takayanagi (QRT) proposal to an analytically solvable semi-classical two-dimensional dilaton gravity theory. The Page time is found to ...
  • Campbell, Peter J.; Stefansson, Olafur (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2020-02-05)
