Abstract

We find an effective action for gravitational interactions with scalars in AdS3AdS_3 to first order in GNG_N at the conformal boundary. This action can be understood as an action for the Brown-Henneaux modes and is given by the square-root product of right and left moving Schwarzian derivatives for conformal transformations of the boundary. We thus reproduce the result λL=2πβ\lambda_L=\frac{2\pi}{\beta} for OTOC computed first in arXiv:1412.6087 for a Schwarzchild black hole in AdS3AdS_3. Applying the same procedure to rotating BTZ we find the Lyapunov index to be λL=2πβ+>2πβ\lambda_L=\frac{2\pi}{\beta_+}>\frac{2\pi}{\beta} where β+=β(1μL)\beta_+=\beta(1-\mu_L), with μL=rr+\mu_L=\frac{r_-}{r_+} being the chemical potential for angular momentum. We thus comment on a possible modification to a part of the proof given in arXiv:1503.01409 to accommodate this result.
