Description
It has been known for over 50 years that spacetime dynamics becomes chaotic in the approach to singularities. Furthermore, the classical gravitational dynamics exhibits remarkable number-theoretic properties known as arithmetic chaos. I will review these facts and give an explicit realisation of these phenomena in the interior of an asymptotically AdS black hole. I will discuss possible implications for the nature of black hole singularities and black hole thermodynamics.
