Eigenstate Thermalization Hypothesis in Conformal Field Theory
read the original abstract
We investigate the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) in d+1 dimensional conformal field theories by studying reduced density matrices in energy eigenstates. We show that if local probes of high energy primary eigenstates satisfy ETH, then any finite energy observable with support on a subsystem of finite size satisfies ETH. In two dimensions, we discover that if ETH holds locally, the finite size reduced density matrix of states created by heavy primary operators is well-approximated by a projection to the Virasoro identity block.

Multiscale Structure of Eigenstate Thermalization
Matrix element distributions exhibit non-analytic dependence on ensemble fluctuation scale, exposing multiscale structure in eigenstate thermalization within an integrable field theory.

Criticality of ISCOs and AdS/CFT
ISCOs mark coalescence points of center and saddle fixed points in black hole effective potentials, exhibiting van der Waals-like mean-field scaling, with corresponding negative and positive anomalous dimensions for c...

Bouncing singularities and thermal correlators on line defects
Retarded correlators of displacement operators on line defects in holographic thermal CFTs exhibit bouncing singularities that match between interior-sensitive WKB and boundary-only OPE analyses.
