| Abstract: | Recent work by Zamolodchikov and others have uncovered a new integrable irrelevant deformation of general 2D CFTs, defined by turning on the dimension 4 operator given by the product of the left- and right-moving stress tensor. In this talk, I propose a holographic interpretation of this deformation as moving the CFT to a finite radial distance from the center of the bulk. I present quantitative evidence supporting this proposal, and learn new lessons about the propagation speed of quantum information near black hole horizons. |
