Zusammenfassung:
Various aspects of warped conformal field theories (WCFTs) are studied
including entanglement entropy on excited states, the Renyi entropy after a
local quench, and out-of-time-order four-point functions. Assuming a large
central charge and dominance of the vacuum block in the conformal block
expansion, (i) we calculate the single-interval entanglement entropy on an
excited state, matching previous finite temperature results by changing the
ensemble; and (ii) we show that WCFTs are maximally chaotic, a result that is
compatible with the existence of black holes in the holographic duals. Finally,
we relax the aforementioned assumptions and study the time evolution of the
Renyi entropy after a local quench. We find that the change in the Renyi
entropy is topological, vanishing at early and late times, and nonvanishing in
between only for charged states in spectrally-flowed WCFTs.
