Proper time to singularity and thermal correlators
arXiv:2406.08553 · doi:10.1103/n2n1-1d9f
Abstract
We study certain higher point thermal correlators of heavy and light scalar primaries in a holographic CFT. Assuming simple self-interactions and couplings of the scalars in the bulk theory, we show that the thermal correlators contain a signature of the proper time to singularity from the horizon. The key idea is to use WKB approximations for the propagators and evaluate the bulk integrals using saddle point method.
