We formulate a prescription for computing Minkowski-space correlators from AdS/CFT correspondence. This prescription is shown to give the correct retarded propagators at zero temperature in four dimensions, as well as at finite temperature in the two-dimensional conformal field theory dual to the BTZ black hole. Using the prescription, we calculate the Chern-Simons diffusion constant of the finite-temperature N=4 supersymmetric Yang-Mills theory in the strong coupling limit. We explain why the quasinormal frequencies of the asymptotically AdS background correspond to the poles of the retarded Green's function of the boundary conformal field theory.

  1. Holographic Banners

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    Holographic banners are four-argument on-shell actions that map thermofield double boundary states to future interior semiclassical states and yield BKL mixing timescales in AdS black holes.

  2. Quasinormal Modes of pp-Wave Spacetimes and Zero Temperature Dissipation

    gr-qc 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Scalar quasinormal modes on pp-wave spacetimes show zero-temperature dissipation for d >= 3 via an irregular singular point acting as absorber, with exact non-dissipative spectrum for d=2 and gapped modes proven by re...

  3. Decoding multiway gravitational junctions in AdS in terms of holographic quantum maps

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Multiway AdS junctions dualize to factorized quantum maps on CFT interfaces, with scattering matrix fixed by junction tension and automorphisms from n-1 stringy modes, independent of background state.

  4. Low-energy hadronic physics in holographic $\mathrm{QCD_{3}}$ with anisotropy

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    In an anisotropic holographic model of 3D QCD, hadronic systems become unstable when anisotropy exceeds the confinement energy scale, with dragging terms essential for transport properties.

    hep-th 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    Curvature on S^3 decouples dynamical instabilities in R-charge transport from thermodynamic instabilities in N=4 SYM plasma at finite density, with thermodynamic instability persisting under volume fluctuations.

  6. Quasinormal modes of black holes and black branes

    gr-qc 2009-05 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Quasinormal modes are eigenmodes of dissipative gravitational systems whose spectra encode near-equilibrium transport coefficients in dual quantum field theories and enable tests of general relativity through gravitat...
