Higher point OTOCs and the bound on chaos

High Energy Physics - Theory 2018-09-17 v1

Abstract

By extending methods of arXiv:1503.01409, we investigate the bound on the growth of higher point OTOCs by studying their complex analytical properties. We explore some subtleties in our mathematical investigation, and carefully examine the physical interpretation of our result. We also touch upon the possibility of the saturation of the bound in a physical system. Finally, we consider few known examples of higher point OTOCs. For the simplest case of 2n2n-point Tremolo correlators the bound on the exponent is proportional to nn.
