Abstract
In this note, we study the holographic CFT in the de Sitter static patch at finite temperature and chemical potential. We find that butterfly velocity in such field theory degenerates for all values of the Hubble parameter and . We interpret this as a chaos disruption caused by the interplay between the expansion of chaotic correlations constrained by 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.
