Two-dimensional conformal field theory and the butterfly effect

Daniel A. Roberts, Douglas Stanford

We study chaotic dynamics in two-dimensional conformal field theory through out-of-time order thermal correlators of the form $⟨ W (t) V W (t) V ⟩$ . We reproduce bulk calcula…

Localized shocks

Daniel A. Roberts, Douglas Stanford, Leonard Susskind

We study products of precursors of spatially local operators, $W_{x_{n}} (t_{n}) ... W_{x_{1}} (t_{1})$ , where $W_{x} (t) = e^{- i H t} W_{x} e^{i H t}$ . Using chaotic spin-chain numerics and gaug…

Hawking-Page transition in holographic massive gravity

Allan Adams, Daniel A. Roberts, Omid Saremi

We study the Hawking-Page transition in a holographic model of field theories with momentum dissipation. We find that the deconfinement temperature strictly decreases as momentum d…
