abstract

We apply the OPE inversion formula on thermal two-point functions of fermions to obtain thermal one-point function of fermion bi-linears appearing in the corresponding OPE. We primarily focus on the OPE channel which contains the stress tensor of the theory. We apply our formalism to the mean field theory of fermions and verify that the inversion formula reproduces the spectrum as well as their corresponding thermal one-point functions. We then examine the large $N$ critical Gross-Neveu model in $d=2k+1$ dimensions with $k$ even and at finite temperature. We show that stress tensor evaluated from the inversion formula agrees with that evaluated from the partition function at the critical point. We demonstrate the expectation values of 3 different classes of higher spin currents are all related to each other by numerical constants, spin and the thermal mass. We evaluate the ratio of the thermal expectation values of higher spin currents at the critical point to the Gaussian fixed point or the Stefan-Boltzmann result, both for the large $N$ critical $O(N)$ model and the Gross-Neveu model in odd dimensions. This ratio is always less than one and it approaches unity on increasing the spin with the dimension $d$ held fixed. The ratio however approaches zero when the dimension $d$ is increased with the spin held fixed.

  1. Analytic thermal bootstrap in momentum space: From thermal OPE to QNMs

    hep-th 2026-07 accept novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  2. 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}.

    Analytically continuing and smearing thermal four-point correlators turns them into flat-space scattering amplitudes at a bulk point inside the black hole.

    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...

    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.
