One of the most promising routes to non-fermi liquids and strange metals has been through SYK models \cite{Sachdev:2010um}, which necessarily involve large flavor degrees of freedom and interactions with imposed disorder. We introduce an…

We explore the salient features of the `Kitaev ladder', a two-legged ladder version of the spin-1/2 Kitaev model on a honeycomb lattice, by mapping it to a one-dimensional fermionic p-wave superconducting system. We examine the connections…
Motivated by the InSb nanowire superconductor system, we investigate a system where one-dimensional topological superconductors are placed in parallel. It would be simulated well by a ladder of the Kitaev chains. The system undergoes…
We construct an exactly solvable model of a four-dimensional Kitaev spin liquid. The lattice structure is orthorhombic and each unit-cell contains six sublattice degrees of freedom. We demonstrate that the Fermi surface of the model is made…
The Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model provides an uncommon example of a chaotic theory that can be analysed analytically. In the deep infrared limit, the original model has an emergent conformal (reparametrisation) symmetry that is broken both…
We consider a two dimensional itinerant SYK model of spin-less fermions, with a linear dispersion, interacting via random long range all-to-all interactions. In the large-N limit, we find an asymptotic power series solution of the…
We propose a lattice model for strongly interacting electrons with the potential to explain the main phenomenology of the strange metal phase in the cuprate high temperature superconductors. Our model is motivated by the recently developed…
In this paper we extend the Falicov-Kimball model (FKM) to the case where the "quasi-particles" entering the FKM are not "ordinary" fermions. As an example we first discuss how the FKM can be generalized to the case with spin-dependent…
A pair of identical Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models with bilinear coupling forms a quantum dual of a traversable wormhole, with a ground state close to the so called thermofield double state. We use adiabaticity arguments and numerical…
We review recent progress regarding the double scaled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model and other $p$-local quantum mechanical random Hamiltonians. These models exhibit an expansion using chord diagrams, which can be solved by combinatorial methods.…
This paper is the first of a series aiming at proving rigorously the analyticity and the Borel summability of generic quartic bosonic and fermionic vector models (generalizing the O(N) vector model) in diverse dimensions. Both…
We consider the Brownian SYK, i.e. a system of $N$ Majorana (Dirac) fermions with a white-noise $q$-body interaction term. We focus on the dynamics of the Frame potentials, a measure of the scrambling and chaos, given by the moments of the…
We describe a proposal for constructing a lattice theory that we argue may be capable of yielding free Weyl fermions in the continuum limit. The model employs reduced staggered fermions and uses site parity dependent Yukawa interactions of…
We study the low frequency spectra of complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models at general densities. The analysis applies also to SU($M$) magnets with random exchange at large $M$. The spectral densities are computed by numerical analysis of…
