Random Matrix Theory for Complexity Growth and Black Hole Interiors
read the original abstract
We study a precise and computationally tractable notion of operator complexity in holographic quantum theories, including the ensemble dual of Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity and two-dimensional holographic conformal field theories. This is a refined, "microcanonical" version of K-complexity that applies to theories with infinite or continuous spectra (including quantum field theories), and in the holographic theories we study exhibits exponential growth for a scrambling time, followed by linear growth until saturation at a time exponential in the entropy $\unicode{x2014}$a behavior that is characteristic of chaos. We show that the linear growth regime implies a universal random matrix description of the operator dynamics after scrambling. Our main tool for establishing this connection is a "complexity renormalization group" framework we develop that allows us to study the effective operator dynamics for different timescales by "integrating out" large K-complexities. In the dual gravity setting, we comment on the empirical match between our version of K-complexity and the maximal volume proposal, and speculate on a connection between the universal random matrix theory dynamics of operator growth after scrambling and the spatial translation symmetry of smooth black hole interiors.

Krylov Subspace Dynamics as Near-Horizon AdS$_2$ Holography
In the continuum limit the discrete Krylov chain becomes a Klein-Gordon field in AdS2, with Lanczos growth rate α identified as πT, recovering the maximal chaos bound and requiring the Breitenlohner-Freedman bound for...

Violation of Universal Operator Growth Hypothesis in $\mathcal{W}_3$Conformal Field Theories
In W3 CFTs, Lanczos coefficients b_N grow as N^2 for generalized Liouvillian with W generators, violating the universal linear growth bound and causing divergent Krylov complexity, with the same quadratic growth in th...

Wigner negativity in Krylov space and emergent semiclassicality
Wigner negativity in Krylov space stays O(1) or grows as t^{1/2} (without Hilbert-space scaling) in 2d CFTs, one-cut matrix models, and double-scaled SYK, indicating emergent semiclassicality.

Controlled Chaos in 4D SCFTs
Orbifolds of N=4 SYM produce SCFTs whose dilatation operator in a subsector is realized by a tunable spin chain whose eigenvalue statistics exhibit chaos for specific marginal couplings.

Krylov Complexity in Periodically Driven CFTs and Critical Fermions
Arnoldi coefficients approach unity exponentially in heating phases of driven CFTs but oscillate in non-heating phases; lattice realizations show distinct spectral and graph signatures despite similar CFT Krylov growth.

Finite cutoff JT gravity: Baby universes, Matrix dual, and (Krylov) Complexity
Finite cutoff in JT gravity causes faster ERB-length saturation, deformation-dependent baby-universe emission only under Lorentzian evolution, and possible one-cut universality corrections in the matrix dual.
