Real-Time Holography and Hybrid WKB for BTZ Wormholes

Abstract

We study probe scalar correlation functions in a Solodukhin wormhole corresponding to the non-rotating BTZ black hole, as a toy model for microstate geometries thereof. Using real-time holography, we obtain the retarded scalar correlator in the wormhole geometry and quantitatively compare it to the result of the hybrid WKB method for the same correlator. We also calculate an off-diagonal correlator $\sim ⟨HLL{H}^{\prime }⟩$ involving two different (heavy) wormhole states.
