A comment on a fine-grained description of evaporating black holes with baby universes

2021 
We study a partially fine-grained description of an evaporating black hole by introducing an open baby universe with a boundary. Since the Page's calculation of the entropy of Hawking radiation involves an ensemble average over a class of states, one can formally obtain a fine-grained state by purifying this setup. For AdS black holes with a holographic dual, this purification amounts to introduce an additional boundary (i.e., baby universe) and then connect it to the original black hole through an Einstein-Rosen bridge. We uncover several details of this setup. As applications, we briefly discuss how this baby universe modifies the semi-classical gravitational Gauss law as well as gravitational dressing of operators behind the horizon.
