Description

We discuss the known relation between the phase shift of a particle traversing the black hole geometry and the CFT two point function computed holographically at strong coupling, and use it to explore the behaviour of the CFT thermal correlators in special regimes of the impact parameter space. We see that the correlator develops singularities associated to real and complex geodesics in the bulk.
