Random statistics of OPE coefficients and Euclidean wormholes

A Belin, J De Boer - Classical and Quantum Gravity, 2021 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose an ansatz for OPE coefficients in chaotic conformal field theories which
generalizes the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis and describes any OPE coefficient …

State dependence of Krylov complexity in 2d CFTs

A Kundu, V Malvimat, R Sinha - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract We compute the Krylov Complexity of a light operator\(\mathcal {O}\) L in an

Non-abelian eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

C Murthy, A Babakhani, F Iniguez, M Srednicki… - Physical Review Letters, 2023 - APS
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) explains why nonintegrable quantum many-
body systems thermalize internally if the Hamiltonian lacks symmetries. If the Hamiltonian …

Holographic thermal correlators from supersymmetric instantons

M Dodelson, A Grassi, C Iossa, DP Lichtig… - SciPost Physics, 2023 - scipost.org
We present an exact formula for the thermal scalar two-point function in four-dimensional
holographic conformal field theories. The problem of finding it reduces to the analysis of the …

Gravitational orbits, double-twist mirage, and many-body scars

M Dodelson, A Zhiboedov - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We explore the implications of stable gravitational orbits around an AdS black hole
for the boundary conformal field theory. The orbits are long-lived states that eventually decay …

Multiboundary wormholes and OPE statistics

J de Boer, D Liška, B Post - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We derive higher moments in the statistical distribution of OPE coefficients in
holographic 2D CFTs, and show that such moments correspond to multiboundary Euclidean …

Moduli spaces in CFT: large charge operators

G Cuomo, L Rastelli, A Sharon - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2024 - Springer
A bstract Using the large-charge expansion, we prove a necessary condition for a CFT to
exhibit conformal symmetry breaking, under the assumption that a continuous global …

Subsystem eigenstate thermalization hypothesis

A Dymarsky, N Lashkari, H Liu - Physical Review E, 2018 - APS
Motivated by the qualitative picture of canonical typicality, we propose a refined formulation
of the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) for chaotic quantum systems. This …

The conformal bootstrap at finite temperature

L Iliesiu, M Koloğlu, R Mahajan, E Perlmutter… - Journal of High Energy …, 2018 - Springer
