Causal symmetry breaking: late time physics of holographic quantum chaos
Julian Sonner
University of Geneva, Switzerland

Abstract:
"Quantum chaotic systems are often defined via the assertion that their spectral statistics coincides with, or is well approximated by, random matrix theory. In this talk I will explain how the universal content of random matrix theory emerges as the consequence of a simple symmetry-breaking principle and its associated Goldstone modes. This approach naturally leads to wormhole-like correlations in holography, even for individual theories.
Finally I will comment on very recent results that allow us to extend the Goldstone effective-field-theory approach to operator correlation functions."
