A thermal product formula

M Dodelson, C Iossa, R Karlsson… - Journal of High Energy …, 2024 - Springer
A bstract We show that holographic thermal two-sided two-point correlators take the form of
a product over quasi-normal modes (QNMs). Due to this fact, the two-point function admits a …

Pseudospectra of holographic quasinormal modes

D Areán, DG Fariña, K Landsteiner - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
