Bounding the space of holographic CFTs with chaos

Bounding the space of holographic CFTs with chaos

Thermal states of quantum systems with many degrees of freedom are subject to a bound on the rate of onset of chaos, including a bound on the Lyapunov exponent, $\lambda_L\leq 2\pi /\beta$. We harness this bound to constrain the space of putative holographic CFTs and their would-be dual theories of …
