Description
Summary:The holographic phenomena of pole-skipping have been studied in the presence of scalar-Gauss-Bonnet interaction in a four-dimensional Anti-de Sitter-Schwarzchild black hole background. In this paper, we initiated a novel study on understanding the response of those pole-skipping points under the application of external sources. The source is identified with the holographic dual operator of the bulk scalar field with its non-normalizable solutions. We analyze in detail the dynamics of pole-skipping points in both sound and shear channels, considering linear perturbation in bulk. In the perturbative regime, characteristic parameters for chaos, namely Lyapunov exponent and butterfly velocity, remain unchanged. However, the momentum values of the pole-skipping points in various modes are found to be affected by the scalar source. Further, the diffusion coefficient has been observed to evolve non-trivially under the application of external sources.
