摘要

We compute the holographic Euclidean two-point function of scalar operators in a thermal state. We work directly using the Fourier series on the thermal circle. The Fourier series does not converge as a function, but instead converges as a distribution, consistent with QFT expectations. The result is manifestly periodic and consistent with analyticity in the strip 0 < ℜ𝔢(τ) < β. Expanding in τ we obtain all OPE coefficients, including the double-trace sector. Thus our approach has an advantage compared to recent work where double-traces were bootstrapped from stress-tensor data. Bouncing singularities appear as non-perturbative sectors in the transseries for Fourier coefficients, but their transseries parameters are all zero in the case of the Euclidean correlator.
