Abstract

We study chaos-integrability transition purely within a BPS subspace of a specific supersymmetric model that interpolates between the chaotic N=2\mathcal{N}=2 SYK model and an integrable N=2\mathcal{N}=2 "commuting" SYK model. Using the framework of BPS chaos, we analyze the spectrum of an operator projected onto the BPS subspace. We numerically find that its spectral statistics exhibit random-matrix behavior near the SYK limit and smoothly transitions to Poisson statistics near the integrable limit. Our results provide a direct example of a chaos-integrability crossover diagnosed solely from BPS states.
