Abstract: 

We study the perturbation due to rotating shockwaves in BTZ geometries at late times and analyse the change in Mutual Information between the two subsystems belonging to the dual CFT$_L$ and CFT$_R$. 
We find that the scrambling of Mutual Information is in general governed by the Lyapunov index $\lambda_L$ which is bounded by $\kappa=\frac{2\pi}{\beta(1-\mu\mathcal{L})}\geq \frac{2\pi}{\beta}$ where $\mu=\rmi/\rpl$ and $\mathcal{L}$ is
 the angular momentum of the shockwave. For the special case of $\mathcal{L}$=$1$ we find the Mutual Information analytically, characterized by $\lambda_L=\kappa/2$ and with the scrambling time for large black holes  $t_*=\frac{\beta(1-\mu)}{\pi}\log S$.
If time permits I would also discuss consequences for the near horizon effective theory relevant to our observations.
