Contrasting the fuzzball and wormhole paradigms

Abstract: We summarize the information paradox, and explain how the fuzzball paradigm resolves this paradox in string theory. We then use the small corrections theorem to show that if one looks for an alternative to fuzzballs, then the quantum gravity theory will have to possess nonlocalities. We then consider the nonlocalities postulated in the wormhole paradigm, and the difficulties created by such postulates.
