• Abstract: In this paper, we study excited states in Anti-de Sitter (AdS) space prepared by local operator insertions of a massive scalar field, corresponding to local operator quenches in a free bulk scalar theory. Using the AdS/CFT correspondence, we compute the time evolution of boundary observables in the dual CFT states. We then introduce a hard wall in AdS Poincare coordinates to impose an infrared cutoff (hard-wall), creating a confining deformation of the dual conformal field theory, and analyze the dynamics of excited states in this confining background. By comparing the evolution of boundary two-point correlation functions in the deformed theory to the statistics of Gaussian random matrix ensembles, we show that for sufficiently heavy operators, the spacing-ratio statistics of peaks in temporal dynamics are closest to those of the Gaussian Symplectic Ensemble (GSE). Finally, we extend the analysis to the compact BTZ black hole and to its hard-wall deformation, finding qualitatively similar trends.

  The Bethe lattice Ising model is a classical model of statistical mechanics for the phase transition. We show the underlying mechanism and the exact scaling dimensions for the power-law decay of boundary spin correlations. In addition, we find that the phase transition in the interior induces a crossover behavior of boundary spin correlations, depending on the depth of the corresponding correlation path.

  Key aspects of the AdS/CFT correspondence can be captured in terms of tensor network models on hyperbolic lattices.

We show that these Hamiltonians exhibit multi-scale quasiperiodic symmetries captured by an analytical toy model.
