Abstract

We show that the proper inclusion of soft reparameterization modes in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of NN randomly interacting Majorana fermions reduces its long-time behavior to that of Liouville quantum mechanics. As a result, all zero temperature correlation functions decay with the universal exponent τ3/2\propto \tau^{-3/2} for times larger than the inverse single particle level spacing τNlnN\tau\gg N\ln N. In the particular case of the single particle Green function this behavior is manifestation of the zero-bias anomaly, or scaling in energy as ϵ1/2\epsilon^{1/2}. We also present exact diagonalization study supporting our conclusions.
