We construct an emergent holographic dual description in the Luttinger-Ward functional approach, where the renormalization group (RG) flows of collective bi-local fields appear manifestly in the bulk effective action with an emergent extra…

We analyze thermal correlators in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model away from the maximally chaotic limit. Despite the absence of a weakly curved black hole dual, the two point function decomposes into a sum over a discrete set of quasinormal…

We investigate a bosonic variant of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model coupled to a Lindbladian environment, focusing on the interplay between quantum many-body dynamics and dissipation. Using the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral formalism in…

We study chaos in a classical limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model obtained in a suitably defined large-S limit. The low-temperature Lyapunov exponent is found to depend linearly on temperature, with a slope that is parametrically…

Quantum chaos is one of the distinctive features of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model, $N$ Majorana fermions in $0+1$ dimensions with infinite-range two-body interactions, which is attracting a lot of interest as a toy model for holography.…

We revisit Brownian Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and argue that it has emergent energy conservation overlooked in the literature before. We solve this model in the double-scaled regime and demonstrate hyperfast scrambling, exponential decay of…
