Recent work by Shenker, Stanford, and Kitaev has related the black hole horizon geometry to chaotic behavior. We extend this from eternal black holes to black holes that form and then evaporate. This leads to an identity for the change in the black hole S-matrix (over times shorter than the scrambling time) due an addition infalling particle, elaborating an idea of 't Hooft.

    Analytical all-time expressions for Green's and OTOC functions in 4-body SYK model show early exponential growth then decay, followed by late-time dip-ramp-plateau patterns deviating from ergodic predictions due to lo...

  2. Black Hole Photon Rings Saturate the Quantum Chaos Bound

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Photon rings around black holes saturate the quantum chaos bound via Lyapunov exponents of null geodesics and OTOCs in the near-ring region.

  3. Long-time Freeness in the Kicked Top

    cond-mat.stat-mech 2024-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In the fully chaotic regime of the kicked top, long-time freeness is reached exponentially fast, accompanied by a hierarchy of time scales indicating a multifractal approach.
