Exploring Euclidean Path-Integral Approach in Black Hole Information Theory
Delve into the concept of black hole information emissions through quantum extremal surfaces, the subtleties of interpreting path-integrals, and embedding images into orthodox path integral formulations. Follow the Euclidean path-integral approach, analyze steepest-descent approximations, and explore the possibility of explaining the Page curve using this method.

Forthefirsthistory,weassumethattheentanglemententropy monotonicallyincreases.
However,sincethereisnointeriorforthesecondhistory, theentanglemententropy (betweenblackholeandradiation) iszero.
