abstract

We consider two-point functions of light fields at finite temperature and large real frequencies in holographic theories. The thermal system is dual to a single-sided AdS black hole. We show that the high-frequency expansion obtained from the Operator Product Expansion receives exponentially small nonperturbative corrections, which are controlled by null geodesics bouncing off the black hole singularity in the two-sided eternal black hole geometry. We develop a bulk WKB description of these bouncing geodesics and explain how to calculate reflection coefficients at 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.

Analytic approaches to perturbations of strongly coupled Yang-Mills plasma

hep-th · 2026-06-10 · conditional · novelty 7.0

Scalar-channel quasinormal modes of the planar AdS5 black brane are captured across all wave numbers by exact WKB quantisation, transseries resummation, and Seiberg–Witten analytic continuation, with resummed large-q predictions matching independent numerics to ten to thirty decimal places.

Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

hep-th · 2026-03-11 · accept · novelty 7.0

Retarded correlators of bulk scalars and Wilson-line displacement operators exhibit bouncing singularities at t_c=β/2(1+i) with matching WKB and asymptotic OPE data, implying a universal high-frequency factorization.

Thermal two-point functions in SYK and complex-time singularities

hep-th · 2026-07-06 · conditional · novelty 6.0

The large-N SYK thermal two-point function exhibits complex-time singularities—an effective-temperature pole and a subleading bouncing-geodesic-like singularity—that persist from infinite to zero temperature.

Thermal conformal partial waves from flat-space and defect CFT

hep-th · 2026-05-26 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

Establishes correspondence between flat, thermal, and defect conformal partial waves via shadow formalism, obtaining thermal blocks from flat four-point and defect two-point functions and reducing the Casimir equation diagonally.

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.
