Description

I will show that the thermal diffusivity is closely related to the butterfly velocity and the Lyapunov exponent in a large class of holographic theories at low temperature. I will explain how this is a consequence of the fact that the thermal conductivity in these theories depends only on the metric near the horizon of the dual black hole, and is otherwise independent of the matter fields and their profiles.
