A note on size-momentum correspondence and chaos

Abstract

The aim of this note is to explore Susskind's proposal [arXiv:1802.01198] on the connection between operator size in chaotic theories and the bulk momentum of a particle falling into black holes (see also [arXiv:1804.04156, 1806.05574, 1904.12819, 1912.05996, 2006.03019] for more recent generalizations), in a broad class of models involving Gauss-Bonnet(GB) and Lifshitz-Hyperscaling violating theories in AdS. For Gauss-Bonnet black holes, the operator size is seen to be suppressed as the coupling constant $\lambda$ is increased. For the Lifshitz-hyperscaling violating theories characterised by the parameters $z$ and $\theta$, the operator size is higher as compared to case $z=1,\theta =0$ (Reissner-Nordstrom AdS black holes). In the case of operators with global charge corresponding to charged particles falling into black holes, suppression of chaos is seen in general theories of gravity, in conformity with the original proposal [arXiv:1802.01198] and earlier findings [arXiv:1806.05574].
