We consider weakly-coupled QFT in AdS at finite temperature. We compute the holographic thermal two-point function of scalar operators in the boundary theory. We present analytic expressions for leading corrections due to local quartic interactions in the bulk, with an arbitrary number of derivatives and for any number of spacetime dimensions. The solutions are fixed by judiciously picking an ansatz and imposing consistency conditions. The conditions include analyticity properties, consistency with the operator product expansion, and the Kubo-Martin-Schwinger condition. For the case without any derivatives we show agreement with an explicit diagrammatic computation. The structure of the answer is suggestive of a thermal Mellin amplitude. Additionally, we derive a simple dispersion relation for thermal two-point functions which reconstructs the function from its discontinuity.

  1. OPE = QNM

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.5 of 10

    OPE and QNM representations of the mixed retarded correlator overlap in complex time, giving an explicit map, sum rules, and new QNM asymptotics for large-N thermal CFTs.

  2. Analytic thermal bootstrap in momentum space: From thermal OPE to QNMs

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    KMS-symmetric thermal Polyakov blocks Fourier-transform into asymptotic retarded correlators, yielding inversion formulae that express thermal OPE coefficients in terms of quasinormal-mode frequencies under meromorphicity.

  3. Light-like retarded correlators and the horizon

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    At large light-like momenta, holographic retarded correlators scale as a horizon-curvature-dependent power of ω, weaker than the naive ω^{2Δ−d}.

  4. 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.

  5. Heavy-Heavy-Light Asymptotics from Thermal Correlators

    hep-th 2025-06 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors derive and test systematic large-dimension asymptotics for heavy-heavy-light OPE coefficients in 3D CFTs from thermal one-point functions on S1 x S2.

  6. Imprint of the black hole interior on thermal four-point correlators

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytically continuing and smearing thermal four-point correlators turns them into flat-space scattering amplitudes at a bulk point inside the black hole.

  7. Thermal $n$-Point Conformal Blocks in Four Dimensions from Oscillator Representations

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New analytic formulas for four-dimensional thermal n-point conformal blocks are derived from oscillator representations, with a correct low-temperature limit to vacuum comb-channel blocks.
