Global symmetry violation from nonisometric codes
We study the no-global-symmetry conjecture in quantum gravity by modeling black holes as nonisometric codes that encode the interior states with global charges into the fundamental states. The fluctuation in the inner products of the charged states can be larger compared to the case without charges. The nonisometric map causes states with different charges to have nonzero overlaps, signaling symmetry violation. The Renyi entropies of the radiation with global charges are found to be consistent with the quantum extremal surface formula. We compute various forms of Renyi relative entropy, as well as the fidelity, to quantify the degree of a global symmetry violation in Hawking radiation, demonstrating that global symmetries are indeed violated. We also comment on the instability of the black hole remnant.
