Page curves and replica wormholes from chaotic dynamics

What is the bare minimum needed to get a unitarity-consistent black hole radiation entropy curve? In this talk, I will show how to capture both Hawking's non-unitary entropy curve, and density matrix-connecting contributions that restore unitarity, in a toy quantum system with chaotic dynamics. The motivation is to find the simplest possible dynamical model, dropping all superfluous details, that captures this aspect of gravitational physics. In the model, the Hamiltonian obeys random matrix statistics within microcanonical windows, the entropy of the averaged state gives the non-unitary curve, the averaged entropy gives the unitary curve, and the difference comes from matrix index contractions in the Haar averaging that connect the density matrices in a replica wormhole-like manner.
