SYK Model, Chaos and Conserved Charge

Abstract

We study the SYK model with complex fermions, in the presence of an all-to-all qq-body interaction, with a non-vanishing chemical potential. We find that, in the large qq limit, this model can be solved exactly and the corresponding Lyapunov exponent can be obtained semi-analytically. The resulting Lyapunov exponent is a sensitive function of the chemical potential μ\mu. Even when the coupling JJ, which corresponds to the disorder averaged values of the all to all fermion interaction, is large, values of μ\mu which are exponentially small compared to JJ lead to suppression of the Lyapunov exponent.
