Abstract

In this note, we study the holographic CFT in the de Sitter static patch at finite temperature TT and chemical potential. We find that butterfly velocity vBv_B in such field theory degenerates for all values of the Hubble parameter HH and TT. We interpret this as a chaos disruption caused by the interplay between the expansion of chaotic correlations constrained by vBv_B and effects caused by de Sitter curvature. The chemical potential restores healthy butterfly velocity for some range of temperatures. Also, we provide some analogy of this chaos suppression with the Schwinger effect in de Sitter and black hole formation from shock wave collision.
