We discuss the bi-local collective theory for the $\mathcal{N}=1,2$ supersymmetric Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SUSY SYK) models. We construct a bi-local superspace, and formulate the bi-local collective superfield theory of the one-dimensional SUSY…

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…

In this letter we construct a large-N exactly solvable model to study the interplay between interaction and topology, by connecting Sacheve-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with constant hopping. The hopping forms a band structure that can exhibit…

We derive formulas and algorithms for Kitaev's invariants in the periodic table for topological insulators and superconductors for finite disordered systems on lattices with boundaries. We find that K-theory arises as an obstruction to…

The double-scaled limit of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model takes the number of fermions and their interaction number to infinity in a coordinated way. In this limit, two entangled copies of the SYK model have a bulk description of sorts…

This note discusses examples of 0+1-dimensional Liouvillean dynamics instigated by the various deformations of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model. In reference to such deformations the main focus is on the regions of parameter space where…

The short time (large energy) behavior of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model (SYK) is one of the main motivation to the growing interest garnered by this model. True chaotic behaviour sets in at the Thouless time, which can be extracted from the…

We point out that a classical analog of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model -- a solvable model of quantum many-body chaos, was studied long ago in the turbulence literature. Motivated by the Navier-Stokes equation in the turbulent regime and the…

We investigate quantum noise in a mesoscopic quantum dot serving as a realization of the charged Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model weakly coupled to a fermionic lead via a tunnel contact. We find noise signatures under voltage and temperature…

The de Finetti theorem and its extensions concern the structure of multipartite probability distributions with certain symmetry properties, the paradigmatic original example being permutation symmetry. These theorems assert that such…

We study a version of the 2-body Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK$_{2}$) model whose complex fermions exhibit twisted boundary conditions on the thermal circle. As we show, this is physically equivalent to coupling the fermions to a 1-dimensional…
