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.

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.
Pole-skipping data encodes enough information to reconstruct the full metric of 3D rotating black holes and the radial functions of 4D separable rotating black holes, with Einstein equations becoming algebraic constraints on that data.
Kerr QNM anomalies near algebraically special frequencies arise from avoided crossings with resonant excitation and pole skipping due to quasinormal-Matsubara pole-zero cancellations.
In TTbar-deformed anomalous CFT2 the chaos bound stays saturated while butterfly velocity depends nontrivially on deformation strength and anomaly, with a Hagedorn regime where the chaotic response turns complex.
Brick-wall spectra in de Sitter space show long-range chaotic signatures via spectral form factor and Krylov complexity even when conventional level repulsion is absent.
Non-conformal deformation via Einstein-dilaton gravity increases the radius of convergence of the derivative expansion for gapped quasinormal modes of a scalar operator in the holographic dual.
