CFT and black holes

Abstract

We consider CFTs with large gap in the spectrum of operators and a large number of degrees of freedom (large central charge). We analytically study a Heavy-Heavy-Light-Light correlation function, where Heavy, refers to an operator with conformal dimension which scales like the central charge and Light, refers to an operator whose dimension is of order unity in the large central charge limit. In certain regimes, the correlation function can be examined analytically leading to very simple and suggestive expressions.
