We investigate the off-diagonal sector of eigenstate thermalization using both local and non-local probes in 2-dimensional conformal field theories. A novel analysis of the asymptotics of OPE coefficients via the modular bootstrap is performed to extract the behaviour of the off-diagonal matrix elements. We also probe this sector using semi-classical heavy-light Virasoro blocks. The results demonstrate signatures of thermality and confirms the entropic suppression of the off-diagonal elements as necessitated by the eigenstate thermalization hypothesis.

  1. Universality of the microcanonical entropy at large spin

    hep-th 2025-05 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    For any twist interval at or above (c-1)/12, the large-spin operator density matches the vacuum-block prediction with relative error vanishing faster than any power, using a twist window that may shrink as J^{-1/4+epsilon}.

    Universal averaged OPE coefficient asymptotics in large-central-charge 2D CFTs extend to Δ>c/6 only under specific sparseness conditions; the C^2_HLL formula requires the stricter ρ(Δ)≲e^{πΔ}, which permutation orbifo...
