Pole-skipping in rotating BTZ black holes

Abstract

Motivated by the connection between pole-skipping phenomena of two point functions and four point out-of-time-order correlators, we study the pole-skipping phenomena for rotating BTZ black holes. In particular, we investigate the effect of rotations on the pole-skipping point for various fields with spin s = 1/2, 1, 2/3, extending the previous research for s = 0, 2. We derive an analytic full tower of the pole-skipping points of fermionic (s = 1/2) and vector (s = 1) fields by the exact holographic Green's functions. For the non-extremal black hole, the leading pole-skipping frequency is omega(leading) = 2 pi iT(h)(s - 1 + nu Omega)/(1 - Omega(2)) where T-h is the temperature, Omega the rotation, and nu := ( Delta(+) - Delta(-))/2, the difference of conformal dimensions (Delta(+/-)). These are confirmed by another independent method: the near-horizon analysis. For the extremal black hole, we find that the leading pole-skipping frequency can occur at omega(extremal)(leading) = -2 pi iT(R)(s + 1) only when nu = s + 1, where T-R is the temperature of the right moving mode. It is non-trivial because it cannot be achieved by simply taking the extreme limit (T-h -> 0, Omega -> 1) of the non-extremal black hole result.
