Abstract: In holography, analytically continued finite temperature correlation functions exhibit a “t_c singularity” whose bulk origin is a null geodesic “bouncing off” the black hole singularity. In this talk, I will describe how certain quantum corrections modify the t_c singularity in two-dimensional dilaton gravity. In particular, the backreaction of this bouncing geodesic on the geometry smooths out the t_c singularity. … Read More
