Inspired by the recent interest in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model we study a class of multi-flavored one- and two-band fermion systems with no bare dispersion. In contrast to the previous work on the SYK model that would routinely assume…

We develop a systematic and unified random matrix theory to classify Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) and supersymmetric (SUSY) SYK models and also work out the structure of the energy levels in one periodic table. The SYK with even $q$- and SUSY…

The chiral SYK model is an 1+1 dimensional generalisation of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model with chiral Majorana fermions and homogeneous random interactions. In the large N limit, the model admits an exact solution of the two-point function…

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 compare different limits of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of $N$ complex fermion with $p$-fermion interactions. First, we compute the fermion Green's function and free energy in the limit of large $N$ followed subsequently by the limit of…

We study a simplified version of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with real interactions by exact diagonalization. Instead of satisfying a continuous Gaussian distribution, the interaction strengths are assumed to be chosen from discrete…

We describe the non-equilibrium dynamics of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models of fermions with all-to-all interactions. These provide tractable models of the dynamics of quantum systems without quasiparticle excitations. The Kadanoff-Baym…

We construct a sign-problem free variant of the complex Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model which keeps all the essential properties of the SYK model, including the analytic solvability in the large-$N$ limit and being maximally chaotic. In…

We investigate the replica problem for Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) models. First, we consider $n-$replicas of the non-supersymmetric SYK model, finding that this $n$-replica model is solvable only under specific conditions. We then introduce…
