Abstract

We discuss aspects of the quantum Lyapunov exponent λL\lambda_L in theories with an exactly marginal SYK-like random interaction, where λL\lambda_L can be computed as a continuous function of the interaction strength J\mathcal{J}. In 1d1d, we prove a conjecture from arXiv:2111.06108 which states that at small J\mathcal{J}, λL\lambda_L can be found by considering a specific limit of the four-point function in the decoupled theory. We then provide additional evidence for the 2d2d version of this conjecture by discussing new examples of Lyapunov exponents which can be computed at weak coupling.
