abstract

The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) in chaotic two dimensional CFTs is subtle due to infinitely many conserved KdV charges. Previous works have demonstrated that primary CFT eigenstates have flat entanglement spectrum, which is very different from the microcanonical ensemble. This result is an apparent contradiction to conventional ETH, which does not take KdV charges into account. In a companion paper \cite{KdVETHgeneral}, we resolve this discrepancy by studying the subsystem entropy of a chaotic CFT in KdV-generalized Gibbs and microcanonical ensembles. In this paper, we carry out parallel computations in the context of AdS/CFT. We focus on the high density limit, which is equivalent to thermodynamic limit in conformal theories. In this limit holographic Renyi entropy can be computed using the so-called gluing construction. We explicitly study the KdV-generalized microcanonical ensemble with the densities of the first two KdV charges $\langle \mathcal{Q}_1\rangle = q_1,\langle \mathcal{Q}_3\rangle = q_3$ fixed and obeying $q_3-q_1^2 \ll q_1^2$. In this regime we found that the refined Renyi entropy $\tilde{S}_n$ is $n$-independent for $n>n_{cut}$, where $n_{cut}$ depends on $q_1,q_3$. By taking the primary state limit $q_3\to q_1^2$, we recover flat entanglement spectrum characteristic of fixed-area states, in agreement with the primary state behavior. This provides a consistency check of the KdV-generalized ETH in 2d CFTs.

  1. The Diagonal Approximation for Holographic R\'{e}nyi Entropies

    hep-th 2024-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The diagonal approximation for holographic Rényi entropies, previously assumed, is derived up to O(log G) corrections, yielding the modified cosmic brane prescription for alpha<1.

  2. Phase transition from eigenstate thermalization: forbidden singularity and instanton proliferation via AGT correspondence

    hep-th 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Forbidden singularities in heavy-light Virasoro blocks are shown to be the critical point of an instanton-gas phase transition via AGT, with critical fugacity equal to the known singularity location.
