We study the real time correlators of scalar glueball operators for Yang-Mills theory at finite temperature in flat space. The analytic structure of the frequency space propagator in perturbative field theory is seen to be qualitatively different to the strong coupling results that may be obtained from perturbations about AdS black hole spacetimes: we find branch cuts rather than poles. This difference appears to persist away from the strict zero and infinite coupling limits, possibly suggesting a phase transition in large N thermal N = 4 SYM theory as a function of the 't Hooft coupling.

Normal mode analysis within relativistic massive transport
Normal mode analysis of the relativistic Boltzmann equation for massive particles reveals coupling between sound and heat channels, mass-dependent critical wavenumbers, and an infinite branch cut for Landau damping.

Thermal two-point functions in SYK and complex-time singularities
The large-N SYK thermal two-point function exhibits complex-time singularities—an effective-temperature pole and a subleading bouncing-geodesic-like singularity—that persist from infinite to zero temperature.

$O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography
In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities persist with altered Kasner exponents, while dilaton effects enable dynamic generation of negative cosmological constants at weak coupling.

$O(d,d)$ symmetric gravity and finite coupling holography
In O(d,d) symmetric gravity with curvature corrections, black brane singularities are not resolved but approach with altered Kasner exponents, while a dilaton generates negative cosmological constants at small coupling.
