Scrambling time from local perturbations of the rotating BTZ black hole

Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the entanglement entropy of the rotating BTZ black hole perturbed by a massive back-reacting free falling particle. Then, mutual information between two finite intervals in two asymptotic regions of rotating BTZ is derived. It allows us to find the scrambling time, the time scale in which mutual information vanishes. We give a dual large $c$ CFT description in terms of a thermofield double state with different temperatures for left and right moving modes that is perturbed by a local operator. Exact matching between gravity and CFT results is obtained.
