SUMMARY:Observations of Hawking radiation: the Page curve and baby uni
 verses\, Theory Seminar (High Energy/Cosmology)\, Henry Maxfield\, Uni
 versity of California\, Santa Barbara
DESCRIPTION:I'll discuss recent progress in black hole information\, u
 sing semiclassical gravity to compute the entropy of Hawking radiation
  and finding the "Page curve" associated with a unitary quantum system
  with density of states given by the Bekenstein-Hawking formula. I wil
 l formulate this in terms of an operationally-defined notion of entrop
 y\, using a Lorentz-signature gravitational path integral in asymptoti
 cally flat spacetimes. I'll then explain the Hilbert space interpretat
 ion of these calculations\, which requires the introduction of a Hilbe
 rt space of baby universes\, and results in superselection sectors for
  asymptotic observers.
