  • Bulk cone singularities are singularities in boundary two-point functions at points separated by a null geodesic in the bulk, but not in the boundary. In this work, we describe a new type of bulk cone singularities in a family of Vaidya-like spacetimes that are labeled by the radius $r_+$ of the resulting black hole. We find a sharp transition in the causal structure within this family of spacetimes at $r_+=l$, the AdS length. In particular, there are bulk cone singularities that do not exist in the $r_+>l$ case, but appear for $r_+<l$. In the case of $r_+<l$ where such singularities exist, we are able to reproduce the singularities in a CFT$_2$ calculation using large $c$ conformal blocks.
