This thesis explores thermal correlation functions in conformal field theories (CFTs) and their connection to black hole geometry within the AdS/CFT correspondence, using a near-boundary expansion as the main tool. Two themes are examined.…

We explore physics behind the horizon in eternal AdS Schwarzschild black holes. In dimension d >3, where the curvature grows large near the singularity, we find distinct but subtle signals of this singularity in the boundary CFT…

The analytic structure of holographic correlation functions at finite temperature contains information about curvature singularities of black holes in AdS. We compute the Operator Product Expansion (OPE) coefficients of the holographic…

Thermal correlators in holographic conformal field theories are known to exhibit singularities in complex time, sometimes referred to as ``bouncing singularities", which are believed to be related to bulk geodesics probing the black hole…

We consider two-point functions of light fields at finite temperature and large real frequencies in holographic theories. The thermal system is dual to a single-sided AdS black hole. We show that the high-frequency expansion obtained from…

Lorentzian correlators of local operators exhibit surprising singularities in theories with gravity duals. These are associated with null geodesics in an emergent bulk geometry. We analyze singularities of the thermal response function dual…

We compute thermal 2-point correlation functions in the black brane $AdS_5$ background dual to 4d CFT's at finite temperature for operators of large scaling dimension. We find a formula that matches the expected structure of the OPE. It…

We study black hole singularities in the AdS/CFT correspondence. These singularities show up in CFT in the behavior of finite-temperature correlation functions. We first establish a direct relation between space-like geodesics in the bulk…

We study analytic properties of thermal spectral functions of holographic CFTs, examining both their (a) exact properties at finite momentum and (b) asymptotics at large momentum. For even-dimensional holographic CFTs on Minkowski spacetime…

We discuss the relation between singularities of correlation functions and causal properties of the bulk spacetime in the context of the AdS/CFT correspondence. In particular, we argue that the boundary field theory correlation functions…

We analyze the singularities of the two-point function in a conformal field theory at finite temperature. In a free theory, the only singularity is along the boundary light cone. In the holographic limit, a new class of singularities…

We investigate black hole formation by a spherically collapsing thin shell of matter in AdS space. This process has been suggested to have a holographic interpretation as thermalization of the CFT on the boundary of the AdS space. The…

Bouncing geodesics have been used as valuable probes of black hole singularities. In the dual boundary theory, the presence of bouncing geodesics is encoded in the analytic structure of correlation functions. Thus, when their existence is…

Matter falling into a Schwarzschild-AdS black hole from the left causes increased focussing of ingoing geodesics from the right, and, as a consequence, they reach the singularity sooner. In a standard Penrose diagram, the singularity "bends…
