abstract

Building on the pioneering work of \cite{Caputa:2024sux}, we propose a holographic description of spread complexity and its rate in 2D CFTs. By exploiting $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ symmetry, we explicitly construct the Krylov basis, expressing spread complexity as a linear combination of generator expectation values. Within the AdS/CFT correspondence, we translate these boundary expectations directly into bulk kinematic variables. These findings suggest that spread complexity manifests as the energy measured by a bulk observer, with its rate corresponding to the radial momentum.

Probing the Chaos to Integrability Transition in Double-Scaled SYK

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A first-order phase transition in the Berkooz-Brukner-Jia-Mamroud interpolating model causes chord number, Krylov complexity, and operator size to switch discontinuously from chaotic (linear/exponential) to quasi-integrable (quadratic) growth.
