abstract

We study pole skipping in holographic CFTs dual to diffeomorphism invariant theories containing an arbitrary number of bosonic fields in the large $N$ limit. Defining a weight to organize the bulk equations of motion, a set of general pole-skipping conditions are derived. In particular, the frequencies simply follow from general covariance and weight matching. In the presence of higher spin fields, we find that the imaginary frequency for the highest-weight pole-skipping point equals the higher-spin Lyapunov exponent which lies outside of the chaos bound. Without higher spin fields, we show that the energy density Green's function has its highest-weight pole skipping happening at a location related to the OTOC for arbitrary higher-derivative gravity, with a Lyapunov exponent saturating the chaos bound and a butterfly velocity matching that extracted from a shockwave calculation. We also suggest an explanation for this matching at the metric level by obtaining the on-shell shockwave solution from a regularized limit of the metric perturbation at the skipped pole.

  1. Probing Stringy Horizons with Pole-Skipping in Non-Maximal Chaotic Systems

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping points in non-maximally chaotic systems form Regge-like trajectories whose leading curve encodes the quantum Lyapunov exponent.

  2. Cosmological pole-skipping, shock waves and quantum chaotic dynamics of de Sitter horizons

    hep-th 2025-08 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Pole-skipping in Schwarzschild-de Sitter predicts superluminal and imaginary butterfly velocities, confirmed by shock wave analysis, hinting at nonlocal and non-Hermitian dual dynamics.

  3. Pole-skipping without master variable and holographic superfluids

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A master-variable-free matrix formalism for pole-skipping, applied to holographic superfluids, shows that the massless order parameter produces no new hydrodynamic pole-skipping point.

  4. Quantum chaos and pole skipping in two-dimensional conformal perturbation theory

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A deformed 2D CFT's stress-tensor pole-skipping point shifts at O(lambda^2); at h=1/2 the shift matches the holographic butterfly velocity.

  5. Thermal field theory correlators in the large-$N$ limit and the spectral duality relation

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The spectral duality relation, previously found for 3d CFTs and 4d black holes, is shown to hold for meromorphic thermal two-point correlators in any dimension and for correlators related by double-trace deformations,...

  6. A Dynamical Systems Framework for Reinforcement Learning Safety and Robustness Verification

    cs.AI 2025-08 unverdicted novelty 4.0 of 10

    The claimed RL safety verification framework is absent from the manuscript; the body text is an unrelated high-energy physics paper about de Sitter horizon chaos.

  7. Comparative study of the butterfly velocity in holographic QCD models at finite temperature and chemical potential

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using three independent holographic methods, the authors obtain matching butterfly velocities for four QCD-like models and find a universal increase with temperature and decrease with chemical potential.
