We present an exact solution in the large-$N$ limit of the L\'{e}vy Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (LSYK) model introduced in Ref. [1], wherein the couplings are drawn from a L\'{e}vy Stable distribution parameterized by a tail exponent $\mu \in [0,…

The spectral form factor is believed to exhibit a special type of behavior called ``dip-ramp-plateau'' in chaotic quantum systems that originates from random matrix theory. This suggests that the shape of the spectral form factor could…
