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.

  1. 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}.

  2. Normal mode analysis within relativistic massive transport

    hep-ph 2025-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Far from equilibrium hydrodynamics of nonthermal fixed points

    hep-th 2025-04 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    Nonthermal fixed points support hydrodynamic excitations described by time-dependent shear viscosity and relaxation time that both grow linearly with time for the direct energy cascade.

  4. Thermal two-point functions in SYK and complex-time singularities

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  5. Bouncing Geodesics, Singularities, and the Cavity Thermal Product Formula in Asymptotically Flat and de Sitter Black Holes

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Derives a cavity thermal product formula relating bouncing geodesic singularities in the retarded Green's function to the quasinormal mode spectrum for Schwarzschild and Schwarzschild-de Sitter black holes inside a re...

  6. Retarded Correlators of Charge Transport in a Magnetic Field

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Analytic computation via kinetic theory of retarded current-current correlators in magnetized relativistic plasma, with transverse charge diffusion scaling as 1/B0^2 while longitudinal diffusion is unaffected.

  7. Relaxation for massive particles: transport and causality

    hep-th 2025-06 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives closed-form mass-dependent transport coefficients for massive RTA gases and proposes that the discontinuity across the correlator cut defines an effective lightcone velocity.

  8. Black holes from chaos

    hep-th 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Chaotic thermal correlators can be computed by mapping Lanczos coefficients to a black-hole scattering problem, giving quasinormal-mode resonances from short-time data.

  9. Towards the BBGKY hierarchy: a scheme beyond the Boltzmann equation and application to a weakly confined QCD gas

    hep-th 2024-12 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    A correlation time approximation that keeps the second level of the BBGKY hierarchy yields analytic conserved correlators with new nonhydrodynamic cuts and a negative O(sigma_hat) correction to eta/s.

  10. Blackish Holes

    hep-th 2024-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Placing a Dirichlet wall just outside the BTZ horizon produces a dense spectrum of normal modes that, in the continuum limit, yields a thermal two-point function at the Hawking temperature.
