An SYK-Like Model Without Disorder

High Energy Physics - Theory 2016-11-04 v2

Abstract

Making use of known facts about "tensor models," it is possible to construct a quantum system without quenched disorder that has the same large nn limit for its correlation functions and thermodynamics as the SYK model. This might be useful in further probes of this approach to holographic duality.
