An Infalling Observer in AdS/CFT and the Information Paradox

Suvrat Raju

International Centre for Theoretical Sciences

We reconstruct the experience of an infalling observer using the AdS/CFT correspondence. We write operators both outside and inside the black hole in terms of CFT operators. Our construction provides a natural realization of black hole complementarity, and a way of preserving information without the need for firewalls.
