In strongly coupled conformal field theories with a large central charge important light degrees of freedom are the stress tensor and its composites, multi-stress tensors. We consider the OPE expansion of two-point functions of the stress tensor in thermal and heavy states and focus on the contributions from the stress tensor and double-stress tensors in four spacetime dimensions. We compare the results to the holographic finite temperature two-point functions and read off conformal data beyond the leading order in the large central charge expansion. In particular, we compute corrections to the OPE coefficients which determine the near-lightcone behavior of the correlators. We also compute the anomalous dimensions of the double-stress tensor operators.

  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. 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. 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.

  4. Thermal field theory correlators in the large-$N$ limit and the spectral duality relation

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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,...

    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.
