In (1+1)-d CFTs, the 4-point function on the plane can be mapped to the pillow geometry and thereby crossing symmetry gets translated into a modular property. We use these modular features to derive a universal asymptotic formula for OPE coefficients in which one of the operators is averaged over heavy primaries. The coarse-grained heavy channel then reproduces features of the gravitational 2-to-2 S-matrix which has black holes as their intermediate states.

  1. Universality of the microcanonical entropy at large spin

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For any twist interval at or above (c-1)/12, the large-spin operator density matches the vacuum-block prediction with relative error vanishing faster than any power, using a twist window that may shrink as J^{-1/4+epsilon}.

  2. Virasoro OPE and Conformal Blocks from the Inverse Shapovalov Form

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    A new explicit level-by-level series for four-point Virasoro conformal blocks on the sphere, with coefficients fixed by singular-vector weights, differing from Zamolodchikov recursion and AGT forms.

  3. A Reverse Black Hole Information Problem

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Exact CFT states for colliding particles that form evaporating AdS black holes are constructed, and several coarse-graining maps are shown to convert the exact pure state into mixed semiclassical Hawking radiation wit...

    hep-th 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Universal averaged OPE coefficient asymptotics in large-central-charge 2D CFTs extend to Δ>c/6 only under specific sparseness conditions; the C^2_HLL formula requires the stricter ρ(Δ)≲e^{πΔ}, which permutation orbifo...
