We explore a new class of general properties of thermal holographic Green's functions that can be deduced from the near-horizon behaviour of classical perturbations in asymptotically anti-de Sitter spacetimes. We show that at negative…

We clarify general mathematical and physical properties of pole-skipping points. For this purpose, we analyse scalar and vector fields in hyperbolic space. This setup is chosen because it is simple enough to allow us to obtain analytical…

Pole skipping is a recently discovered subtle effect in the thermal energy density retarded two point function at a special point in the complex $(\omega,p)$ planes. We propose that pole skipping is determined by the stress tensor…

We point out little discussed phenomenon in elementary quantum mechanics. In one-dimensional potential scattering problems, the scattering amplitudes are not uniquely determined at special points in parameter space. We examine a few…

The pole-skipping is a universal property of Green's functions at strong coupling found by the AdS/CFT duality. There is a conventional formalism of the pole-skipping, but it relies on the existence of a "master variable." Namely, it is…

We construct a rank-3 finite temperature logarithmic conformal field theory (LCFT) starting from a higher-derivative scalar field model in the BTZ black hole background. Its zero temperature limit reduces to a rank-3 LCFT in the AdS$_3$…

We analyze the analytic structure of correlators in the field theory dual to the quantum Ba\~{n}ados-Teitelboim-Zanelli (qBTZ) black hole, a braneworld model incorporating exact backreaction from quantum conformal matter. We first compute…

A nontrivial scalar field configuration of vanishing energy-momentum is reported. These matter configurations have no influence on the metric and therefore they are not be "detected" gravitationally. This phenomenon occurs for a…

(1+1)d QFTs provide a tractable arena for understanding the emergence of hydrodynamics in thermal states. At high temperatures this process is governed by the weak breaking of conformal symmetry, and so in this limit many features of the…

We extend the thermodynamics of quantum BTZ black holes by treating the quantum backreaction strength parameter $\nu$ as a thermodynamic variable. We find various novel features. The critical point appears at $\nu_c=1$ and a first order…

Based on the well known fact that the quasinormal frequencies are the poles of the frequency domain Green's function we describe a method that allows us to calculate exactly the quasinormal frequencies of the Klein-Gordon field moving in…

The Kerr rotating black hole metric has unstable photon orbits that orbit around the hole at fixed values of the Boyer-Lindquist coordinate $r$ that depend on the axial angular momentum of the orbit, as well as on the parameters of the…
