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 are singular when the insertion points are connected causally by a bulk null geodesic. This implies the existence of "bulk-cone singularities" in boundary theory correlation functions which lie inside the boundary light-cone. We exhibit the pattern of singularities in various asymptotically AdS spacetimes and argue that this pattern can be used to probe the bulk geometry. We apply this correspondence to the specific case of shell collapse in AdS/CFT and indicate a sharp feature in the boundary observables corresponding to black hole event horizon formation.

Light-like retarded correlators and the horizon
At large light-like momenta, holographic retarded correlators scale as a horizon-curvature-dependent power of ω, weaker than the naive ω^{2Δ−d}.

New bulk cone singularities in Vaidya-like spacetimes from large $c$ conformal blocks
In a time-symmetric Vaidya-like spacetime, radial null geodesics create boundary bulk-cone singularities only when r_+ < l, and a large-c CFT2 computation reproduces the exact singularity time.

Composite AdS geodesics for CFT correlators and timelike entanglement entropy
A bulk extremization prescription produces composite timelike-spacelike geodesics whose complex length exactly matches CFT two-point functions at timelike separation, including behind the BTZ horizon.

Temporal Entanglement from Holographic Entanglement Entropy
Holographic timelike entanglement entropy is defined by analytically continuing all candidate extremal surfaces through the light cone and selecting the one with smallest real part of the area.

Black holes from chaos
Chaotic thermal correlators can be computed by mapping Lanczos coefficients to a black-hole scattering problem, giving quasinormal-mode resonances from short-time data.

Boundary energy densities in CFT2 encode the periodic boundary-to-boundary propagation of null excitations in global AdS3 via chiral peaks whose weights and timing track bulk geodesics.

Probing Black Hole Thermal Effects in the Dual CFT via Wave Packets
In the AdS3/BTZ holographic setup, the expectation value of a scalar primary in a bulk wave-packet state exhibits temperature-dependent exponential decay along the light cone, absent at zero temperature, while the ene...

Photon spheres and bulk probes in $\text{AdS}_3$/$\text{CFT}_2$: the quantum BTZ black hole
Conditions for boundary-anchored geodesics are derived in all branches of the quantum BTZ black hole, supporting a conjecture that photon spheres enable space-like connections between time-like separated boundary points.
