Half-sided Translations and the Information Recovery from Radiation

The island paradigm asserts that after the Page time the operators in the interior of an AdS2 eternal black hole in equilibrium with a finite temperature non-gravitating bath can not be reconstructed using the operators in the black hole region outside the horizon. In a recent paper, we demonstrated this using the black hole interior reconstruction proposal due to Leutheusser and Liu, based on the half-sided translations. This was done by introducing a notion of the reduced half-sided translations associated with the algebra of operators restricted to the black hole region outside the horizon, and by showing that albeit the reduced half-sided translations translate operators in the black hole region outside the horizon to the black hole interior before the Page time, it fails to do so after the Page time. In this paper, we demonstrate the second assertion of the island paradigm, which states that after the Page time the operators in the black hole interior can be reconstructed using the operators in the bath. We show that even though before the Page time the reduced half-sided translations associated with the algebra of operators restricted to the bath do not translate operators in the bath to the black hole interior, after the Page time they take them to the black hole interior.
