摘要
We study chaotic dynamics in two-dimensional conformal field theory through out-of-time-order thermal correlators of the form < W(t)W(t)V >. We reproduce holographic calculations similar to those of Shenker and Stanford, by studying the large c Virasoro identity conformal block. The contribution of this block to the above correlation function begins to decrease exponentially after a delay of similar to t(*) - (beta/2 pi) log beta(EwEv)-E-2, where t(*) is the fast scrambling time (beta/2 pi) log c and E-w, E-v are the energy scales of the W, V operators.
