Abstract

We study the OPE coefficients cΔ,Jc_{\Delta, J} for heavy-light scalar four-point functions, which can be obtained holographically from the two-point function of a light scalar of some non-integer conformal dimension ΔL\Delta_L in an AdS black hole. We verify that the OPE coefficient cd,0=0c_{d,0}=0 for pure gravity black holes, consistent with the tracelessness of the holographic energy-momentum tensor. We then study the OPE coefficients from black holes involving matter fields. We first consider general charged AdS black holes and we give some explicit low-lying examples of the OPE coefficients. We also obtain the recursion formula for the lowest-twist OPE coefficients with at most two current operators. For integer ΔL\Delta_L, although the OPE coefficients are not fully determined, we set up a framework to read off the coefficients γΔ,J\gamma_{\Delta,J} of the log(zzˉ)\log(z\bar{z}) terms that are associated with the anomalous dimensions of the exchange operators and obtain a general formula for γΔ,J\gamma_{\Delta,J}. We then consider charged AdS black holes in gauged supergravity STU models in D=5D=5 and D=7D=7, and their higher-dimensional generalizations. The scalar fields in the STU models are conformally massless, dual to light operators with ΔL=d2\Delta_L=d-2. We derive the linear perturbation of such a scalar in the STU charged AdS black holes and obtain the explicit OPE coefficient cd2,0c_{d-2,0}. Finally, we analyse the asymptotic properties of scalar hairy AdS black holes and show how cd,0c_{d,0} can be nonzero with exchanging scalar operators in these backgrounds.
