abstract

We study black hole singularities in the AdS/CFT correspondence. These singularities show up in CFT in the behavior of finite-temperature correlation functions. We first establish a direct relation between space-like geodesics in the bulk and momentum space Wightman functions of CFT operators of large dimensions. This allows us to probe the regions inside the horizon and near the singularity using the CFT. Information about the black hole singularity is encoded in the exponential falloff of finite-temperature correlators at large imaginary frequency. We construct new gauge invariant observables whose divergences reflect the presence of the singularity. We also find a UV/UV connection that governs physics inside the horizon. Additionally, we comment on the possible resolution of the singularity.

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.

Spectral Form Factor of Gapped Random Matrix Systems

hep-th · 2026-01-28 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

In gapped random matrix systems with parametrically many degenerate ground states, the spectral form factor at low temperatures is dominated by the disconnected contribution at all times, while the connected form factor depends only on the non-degenerate eigenvalues.

Searching for emergent spacetime in spin glasses

hep-th · 2025-10-23 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Spectral functions of SYK, p-spin, and SU(M) Heisenberg models show exponential tails in spin-glass phases and quasiparticle families in spin-liquid phases, with a proof that exponential decay blocks detection of bulk causal structure.

Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

hep-th · 2026-05-08 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.

Complex Geodesics in the Nariai Geometry

hep-th · 2026-04-29 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

Obtains the two-point correlator in Nariai geometry as a sum over complex geodesics via heat kernel approximation on sphere products followed by analytic continuation, extending de Sitter results.

$O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography

hep-th · 2026-04-23 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0 · 2 refs

In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities are not resolved but approach with altered Kasner exponents, while a dilaton generates negative cosmological constants at small coupling.

Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

gr-qc · 2009-05-19 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative gravitational systems whose spectra encode near-equilibrium transport coefficients in dual quantum field theories and enable tests of general relativity through gravitational wave observations.
