abstract

We study thermal one point functions of massive scalars in $AdS_{d+1}$ black holes. These are induced by coupling the scalar to either the Weyl tensor squared or the Gauss-Bonnet term. Grinberg and Maldacena argued that the one point functions sourced by the Weyl tensor exponentiate in the limit of large scalar masses and they contain information of the black hole geometry behind the horizon. We observe that the one point functions behave identically in this limit for either of the couplings mentioned earlier. We show that in an appropriate large $d$ limit, the one point function for the charged black hole in $AdS_{d+1}$ can be obtained exactly. These black holes in general contain an inner horizon. We show that the one point function exponentiates and contains the information of both the proper time between the outer horizon to the inner horizon as well as the proper length from the inner horizon to the singularity. We also show that Gauss-Bonnet coupling induced one point functions in $AdS_{d+1}$ black holes with hyperbolic horizons behave as anticipated by Grinberg-Maldacena. Finally, we study the one point functions in the background of rotating BTZ black holes induced by the cubic coupling of scalars.

  1. 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}.

  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. 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.

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    In the RS-II braneworld with p-brane gas, the holographic thermal one-point function of heavy operators inherits its time dependence from the brane motion: late-time power-law decays τ^{-Δ/2}, τ^{-2Δ/3}, τ^{-Δ} for ra...

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    In a perturbed Euclidean BTZ black hole, the first-order change in the thermal one-point function is still controlled by the change in the boundary-to-horizon geodesic length, up to m-dependent prefactors.
