Although it is known that AdS/CFT as a quantum erasure
correction code is only approximate, there is still much to learn
about the precise bulk physical consequences of deviating from
exact erasure correction codes. In this talk, I will take...
Black holes are never isolated in realistic astrophysical
environments; instead, they are often perturbed by complicated
external tidal fields. How does a black hole respond to these tidal
perturbations? In this talk, I will discuss both the...
