Chaos in AdS$_2$ holography

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-12-15 v3

Abstract

We revisit AdS2_2 holography with the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models in mind. Our main result is to rewrite a generic theory of gravity near an AdS2_2 throat as a novel hydrodynamics coupled to the correlation functions of a conformal quantum mechanics. This gives a prescription for the computation of nn-point functions in the dual quantum mechanics. We thereby find that the dual is maximally chaotic.
