abstract
We study some aspects of conformal field theories at finite temperature in momentum space. We provide a formula for the Fourier transform of a thermal conformal block and study its analytic properties. In particular we show that the Fourier transform vanishes when the conformal dimension and spin are those of a "double twist" operator $\Delta = 2\Delta_\phi + \ell + 2n$. By analytically continuing to Lorentzian signature we show that the spectral density at high spatial momenta has support on the spectrum condition $|\omega| > |k|$. This leads to a series of sum rules. Finally, we explicitly match the thermal block expansion with the momentum space Green's function at finite temperature in several examples.

OPE = QNM
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.

Analytic thermal bootstrap in momentum space: From thermal OPE to QNMs
KMS-symmetric thermal Polyakov blocks Fourier-transform into asymptotic retarded correlators, yielding inversion formulae that express thermal OPE coefficients in terms of quasinormal-mode frequencies under meromorphicity.

Light-like retarded correlators and the horizon
At large light-like momenta, holographic retarded correlators scale as a horizon-curvature-dependent power of ω, weaker than the naive ω^{2Δ−d}.

Thermal Double-Twist Data in Holography
Thermal double-twist OPE coefficients in a 4d holographic CFT are obtained individually as regulated momentum-space integrals of the AdS5 black-brane scalar response function, yielding new spin-resolved data at Δ=3/2.

Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects
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.

Effective dynamics of open 2D CFTs
The momentum-space thermal four-point response function of scalar primaries in an arbitrary 2D CFT is expressed as an infinite sum over global conformal blocks of Meijer G-functions.
