abstract

Recent developments have indicated that in addition to out-of-time ordered correlation functions (OTOCs), quantum chaos also has a sharp manifestation in the thermal energy density two-point functions, at least for maximally chaotic systems. The manifestation, referred to as pole-skipping, concerns the analytic behaviour of energy density two-point functions around a special point $\omega = i \lambda$, $k = i \lambda/v_B$ in the complex frequency and momentum plane. Here $\lambda$ and $v_B$ are the Lyapunov exponent and butterfly velocity characterising quantum chaos. In this paper we provide an argument that the phenomenon of pole-skipping is universal for general finite temperature systems dual to Einstein gravity coupled to matter. In doing so we uncover a surprising universal feature of the linearised Einstein equations around a static black hole geometry. We also study analytically a holographic axion model where all of the features of our general argument as well as the pole-skipping phenomenon can be verified in detail.

Analyticity and positivity of Green's functions without Lorentz

hep-th · 2025-12-11 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Microcausality and positivity constrain Green's functions to be analytic in the forward light-cone with Im(ω G) > 0 in the complex domain for translation-invariant but Lorentz-breaking systems, implying integral constraints and analytic ε(ω,k), μ^{-1}(ω,k).

Normal mode analysis within relativistic massive transport

hep-ph · 2025-05-07 · unverdicted · novelty 7.0

Normal mode analysis of the relativistic Boltzmann equation for massive particles reveals coupling between sound and heat channels, mass-dependent critical wavenumbers, and an infinite branch cut for Landau damping.
