abstract

We study chaotic dynamics in two-dimensional conformal field theory through out-of-time order thermal correlators of the form $\langle W(t)VW(t)V\rangle$. We reproduce bulk calculations similar to those of [1], by studying the large $c$ Virasoro identity block. The contribution of this block to the above correlation function begins to decrease exponentially after a delay of $\sim t_* - \frac{\beta}{2\pi}\log \beta^2E_w E_v$, where $t_*$ is the scrambling time $\frac{\beta}{2\pi}\log c$, and $E_w,E_v$ are the energy scales of the $W,V$ operators.

  • Stochastic Krylov Dynamics: Revisiting Operator Growth in Open Quantum Systems hep-th · 2026-04-22 · unverdicted · none · ref 3

    In open quantum systems, environmental coupling turns deterministic Krylov phase-space trajectories into stochastic ones by adding diffusion, destroying the hyperbolic mechanism for exponential complexity growth beyond a controlled scale.

    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.
