Abstract

We analytically study spectral correlations and many body wave functions of an SYK-model deformed by a one body contribution to the Hamiltonian. Our main result is the identification of a wide range of intermediate coupling strengths where the spectral statistics is of Wigner-Dyson type, while wave functions are non-uniformly distributed over Fock space and show fractal behavior. The structure of the theory suggests that such manifestations of non-ergodic extendedness may be a prevalent phenomenon in strongly interacting chaotic quantum systems.
