Abstract

We compare different limits of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of NN complex fermion with pp-fermion interactions. First, we compute the fermion Green's function and free energy in the limit of large NN followed subsequently by the limit of large pp. Next, we examine the `double-scaling' limit in which the large N,pN,p limits are taken at fixed λ=p2/N\lambda = p^2/N. Earlier results on the latter limit are resummed for small λ\lambda, and shown to match our results for the first limit. We also describe the holographic match of our results to two-dimensional Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity with an additional U(1)U(1) gauge field.
