On the relation between the magnitude and exponent of OTOCs
On the relation between the magnitude and exponent of OTOCs
We derive an identity relating the growth exponent of early-time OTOCs, the pre-exponential factor, and a third number called "branching time". The latter is defined within the dynamical mean-field framework, namely, in terms of the retarded kernel. This identity can be used to calculate stringy effects in the SYK and …
