Phys. Rev. D 69, 124019 (2004) [9 pages]The information paradox and the locality boundReceived 26 February 2004; published 23 June 2004 Hawking’s argument for information loss in black hole evaporation rests on the assumption of independent Hilbert spaces for the interior and exterior of a black hole. We argue that such independence cannot be established without incorporating strong gravitational effects that undermine locality and invalidate the use of quantum field theory in a semiclassical background geometry. These considerations should also play a role in a deeper understanding of horizon complementarity. © 2004 The American Physical Society URL:
