abstract

We explore a new class of general properties of thermal holographic Green's functions that can be deduced from the near-horizon behaviour of classical perturbations in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We show that at negative imaginary Matsubara frequencies and appropriate complex values of the wavenumber the retarded Green's functions of generic operators are not uniquely defined, due to the lack of a unique ingoing solution for the bulk perturbations. From a boundary perspective these `pole-skipping' points correspond to locations in the complex frequency and momentum planes at which a line of poles of the retarded Green's function intersects with a line of zeroes. As a consequence the dispersion relations of collective modes in the boundary theory at energy scales $\omega\sim T$ are directly constrained by the bulk dynamics near the black-brane horizon. For the case of conserved $U(1)$ current and energy-momentum tensor operators we give examples where the dispersion relations of hydrodynamic modes pass through a succession of pole-skipping points as real wavenumber is increased. We discuss implications of our results for transport, hydrodynamics and quantum chaos in holographic systems.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In near-extremal holographic black holes, the n-th order pole-skipping momentum with mode index q becomes order-independent as T→0: k²_{n,q} → −m²h(r_h) + ½q(q−1)h(r_h)f″(r_h), with q identified as the AdS2 IR conform...

  2. Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Causality constraints and anisotropic states

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    In anisotropic relativistic fluids, branch-point dispersion relations force a continuum of complex-wavevector mode collisions, and causality bounds the convergence radius direction-by-direction in terms of transport c...

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping points in non-maximally chaotic systems form Regge-like trajectories whose leading curve encodes the quantum Lyapunov exponent.

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping in Schwarzschild-de Sitter predicts superluminal and imaginary butterfly velocities, confirmed by shock wave analysis, hinting at nonlocal and non-Hermitian dual dynamics.

  6. A Horizon-to-Boundary Dictionary Linking Smooth Horizon Continuation, Pole-Skipping, and \(SL(2,\mathbb R)\) Lowest-Weight Structure

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5 of 10

    Residual C∞ smoothness after removing the leading horizon prefactor selects the physical radial branch and is the bulk dual of boundary pole-skipping ambiguity.

  7. Flavour current correlators and the non-Abelian hydrodynamic approximation: the charged sector

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Isospin-imbalanced strongly coupled dense matter is shown, via holography, to obey non-Abelian hydrodynamic predictions for current correlators up to the chemical-potential scale, beyond the standard ω,k ≪ T regime.

  8. Pole-skipping without master variable and holographic superfluids

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A master-variable-free matrix formalism for pole-skipping, applied to holographic superfluids, shows that the massless order parameter produces no new hydrodynamic pole-skipping point.

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A deformed 2D CFT's stress-tensor pole-skipping point shifts at O(lambda^2); at h=1/2 the shift matches the holographic butterfly velocity.

    The spectral duality relation, previously found for 3d CFTs and 4d black holes, is shown to hold for meromorphic thermal two-point correlators in any dimension and for correlators related by double-trace deformations,...

    The claimed RL safety verification framework is absent from the manuscript; the body text is an unrelated high-energy physics paper about de Sitter horizon chaos.
