| Summary:
The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) in chaotic two dimensional
CFTs is subtle due to infinitely many conserved KdV charges. Previous works
have demonstrated that primary CFT eigenstates have flat entanglement spectrum,
which is very different from the microcanonical ensemble. This result is an
apparent contradiction to conventional ETH, which does not take KdV charges
into account. In a companion paper cite{KdVETHgeneral}, we resolve this
discrepancy by studying the subsystem entropy of a chaotic CFT in
KdV-generalized Gibbs and microcanonical ensembles. In this paper, we carry out
parallel computations in the context of AdS/CFT. We focus on the high density
limit, which is equivalent to thermodynamic limit in conformal theories. In
this limit holographic Renyi entropy can be computed using the so-called gluing
construction. We explicitly study the the KdV-generalized microcanonical
ensembles with the densities of the first two KdV charges $langle
mathcal{Q}_1rangle = q_1,langle mathcal{Q}_3rangle = q_3$ fixed and
obeying $q_3-q_1^2 ll q_1^2$. In this regime we found that the refined Renyi
entropy $tilde{S}_n$ is $n$-independent for $n>n_{cut}$, where $n_{cut}$
depends on $q_1,q_3$. By taking the primary state limit $q_3to q_1^2$, we
recover the flat entanglement spectrum characteristic of fixed-area states, and
in agreement with the primary state behavior. This provides a consistency check
of the KdV-generalized ETH in 2d CFTs.
