Title: Workholes, Chaos, and Black Hole Microstates

Abstract: There is a wealth of evidence that black holes are quantum mechanical systems, replete with a spectrum of microstates approximately counted by the Bekenstein-Hawking entropy. In this seminar I will present evidence that, at least in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence, black holes exhibit long-range level repulsion in their microstate spectrum. This repulsion is encoded by wormhole amplitudes, and is consistent with the predictions made by random matrix theory for any chaotic many-body quantum system.
