We show that operator growth in large-central-charge conformal field theories with $\mathcal{W}_3$ symmetry can violate the universal operator growth hypothesis once the Liouvillian is enlarged to probe the higher-spin generators. For the…

We study upper bounds on the growth of operator entropy $S_K$ in operator growth. Using uncertainty relation, we first prove a dispersion bound on the growth rate $|\partial_t S_K|\leq 2b_1 \Delta S_K$, where $b_1$ is the first Lanczos…
