Abstract

Recently, it is shown that many Green's functions are not unique at special points in complex momentum space using AdS/CFT. This phenomenon is similar to the pole-skipping in holographic chaos, and the special points are typically located at ωn=(2πT)ni\omega_n = -(2\pi T)ni with appropriate values of complex wave number qnq_n. We study finite-coupling corrections to special points. As examples, we consider four-derivative corrections to gravitational perturbations and four-dimensional Maxwell perturbations. While ωn\omega_n is uncorrected, qnq_n is corrected at finite coupling. Some special points disappear at particular values of higher-derivative couplings. Special point locations of the Maxwell scalar and vector modes are related to each other by the electromagnetic duality.
