Abstract

I will explain how to compute correlation functions of two heavy operators and a light BPS single-trace operator at strong coupling using a dual description of D-branes absorbing a supergravity mode. Our approach is inspired by the large charge expansion of CFT and resolves some confusions in the literature on the holographic computation involving heavy operators. In particular, we point out two important effects which are often missed; the first one is an average over classical configurations of the heavy state, which physically amounts to projecting the state to an eigenstate of quantum numbers. The second one is the contribution from wave functions of the heavy state. Time permitting I will also comment on possible applications to states dual to black holes and fuzzballs.
