abstract

We present a comprehensive analysis of the prescription we recently put forward for the computation of real-time correlation functions using gauge/gravity duality. The prescription is valid for any holographic supergravity background and it naturally maps initial and final data in the bulk to initial and final states or density matrices in the field theory. We show in detail how the technique of holographic renormalization can be applied in this setting and we provide numerous illustrative examples, including the computation of time-ordered, Wightman and retarded 2-point functions in Poincare and global coordinates, thermal correlators and higher-point functions.

Holographic Banners

hep-th · 2026-04-02 · unverdicted · novelty 8.0

Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.

Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

hep-th · 2026-03-11 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.

Toward Krylov-based holography in double-scaled SYK

hep-th · 2025-10-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes a threefold duality linking Krylov complexity growth rate to wormhole velocity and proper momentum in DSSYK holography, with higher moments capturing replica wormholes and Krylov entropy equaling parent-geometry von Neumann entropy after tracing baby universes.

Decoding the string in terms of holographic quantum maps

hep-th · 2025-09-16 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Stringy modes in 3D gravitational junctions map to factorized H_in to H_out and H_L to H_R quantum maps involving scattering matrices and relative Virasoro automorphisms in the dual CFT.

Loops Outside a Black Hole

hep-th · 2025-09-03 · conditional · novelty 6.0

Conjecture reducing bulk loop discontinuity integrals in black hole Schwinger-Keldysh geometry to exterior real-time finite-temperature loop integrals, checked at one to three loops for low-point functions.
