Emphasis are placed on the semiclassicality requirement and potential breakdown of bulk-wise effective Hilbert space factorization between the BH exterior and the interior, supported by various examples. In particular, a simple quasi-paradox for the entanglement wedge duality in AdS/BCFT is put forward, suggesting that it is not possible to have all of semiclassicality, the entanglement wedge duality and bulk-wise Hilbert space factorization in Karch–Randall braneworld. Giving up factorization, a toy qudit model of BCFT is developed as to derive purification of the BH exterior, despite mostly sharing the setup with the small corrections theorem of Mathur (2009). Put together, the entanglement wedge duality is yet to be disproved despite some results by Terashima, and a toy qudit model cannot disprove semiclassicality in BH physics.

A method is provided to estimate the non-perturbative EW scale generation using the exact solution of the background equations of motion in a scalar theory via the Dyson–Schwinger approach. Particularly, an analytical result for the Higgs mass in the strongly coupled regime is found in terms of its quartic self interaction term and the cut-off scale of the theory. It is also shown that the Higgs sector is an essential part of the standard model as, without it, a Yang–Mills gauge theory cannot acquire mass even if a self-interaction term is present.

The findings indicate that while the geometry and such classical characteristics as the fundamental QNM frequencies or the shadow radius are only slightly altered, the Hawking radiation and the frequencies of QNM overtones of sufficiently small BHs change much more significantly. This Hawking radiation enhancement arises due to much larger grey-body factors, while the Hawking temperature remains unaffected.
