Title: Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model as Liouville quantum mechanics

Spectral fluctuations in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Journal Article Jia, Yiyang ; Verbaarschot, Jacobus J. M. - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

Abstract We present a detailed quantitative analysis of spectral correlations in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. We find that the deviations from universal Random Matrix Theory (RMT) behavior are due to a small number of long-wavelength fluctuations (of the order of the number of Majorana fermions N) from one realization of the ensemble to the next one. These modes can be parameterized effectively in terms of Q-Hermite orthogonal polynomials, the main contribution being due to scale fluctuations for which we give a simple analytical estimate. Our numerical results for N = 32 show that only the lowest eight polynomials are neededmore »« less

Remarks on the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Journal Article Maldacena, Juan ; Stanford, Douglas - Physical Review D

We study a quantum mechanical model proposed by Sachdev, Ye and Kitaev. The model consists of N Majorana fermions with random interactions of a few fermions at a time. It it tractable in the large N limit, where the classical variable is a bilocal fermion bilinear. The model becomes strongly interacting at low energies where it develops an emergent conformal symmetry. We study two and four point functions of the fundamental fermions. This provides the spectrum of physical excitations for the bilocal field. The emergent conformal symmetry is a reparametrization symmetry, which is spontaneously broken to SL(2;R), leading to zeromore »« less

Universality and its limits in non-Hermitian many-body quantum chaos using the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Journal Article García-García, Antonio M. ; Sá, Lucas ; Verbaarschot, Jacobus J. M. - Physical Review. D.

Spectral rigidity in Hermitian quantum chaotic systems signals the presence of dynamical universal features at timescales that can be much shorter than the Heisenberg time. We study the analog of this timescale in many-body non-Hermitian quantum chaos by a detailed analysis of long-range spectral correlators. For that purpose, we investigate the number variance and the spectral form factor of a non-Hermitian q-body Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (nHSYK) model, which describes N fermions in zero spatial dimensions. After an analytical and numerical analysis of these spectral observables for non-Hermitian random matrices, and a careful unfolding, we find good agreement with the nHSYK model for q > 2 starting at a timescale that decreases sharply with q. The source of deviation from universality, identified analytically, is ensemble fluctuations not related to the quantum dynamics. For fixed q and large enough N, these fluctuations become dominant up until after the Heisenberg time, so that the spectral form factor is no longer useful for the study of quantum chaos. In all cases, our results point to a weakened or vanishing spectral rigidity that effectively delays the observation of full quantum ergodicity. We also show that the number variance displays nonstationary spectral correlations for both the nHSYK model and random matrices. This nonstationarity, also not related to the quantum dynamics, points to intrinsic limitations of these observables to describe the quantum chaotic motion. On the other hand, we introduce the local spectral form factor, which is shown to be stationary and not affected by collective fluctuations, and propose it as an effective diagnostic of non-Hermitian quantum chaos. For q = 2, we find saturation to Poisson statistics at a timescale of log D, compared to a scale ofmore »« less

On the replica structure of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Journal Article Wang, Hanteng ; Bagrets, D. ; Chudnovskiy, A. L. ; ... - Journal of High Energy Physics (Online)

We investigate existence of replica off-diagonal solutions in the field-theoretical description of Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. To this end we evaluate a set of local and non-local dynamic correlation functions in the long time limit. We argue that the structure of the soft-mode Schwarzian action is qualitatively different in replica-diagonal vs. replica-off-diagonal scenarios, leading to distinct long-time predictions for the correlation functions. We then evaluate the corresponding correlation functions numerically and compare the simulations with analytical predictions of replica-diagonal and replica-off-diagonal calculations. We conclude that all our numerical results are in a quantitative agreement with the theory based on the replica-diagonal saddlemore »« less
