We solve for the exact energy spectrum, 2-point and 4-point functions of the complex SYK model, in the double scaling limit at all energy scales. This model has a $U(1)$ global symmetry. The analysis shows how to incorporate a chemical…

The exact 2-point function of certain physically motivated operators in SYK-like spin glass models is computed, bypassing the Schwinger-Dyson equations. The models possess an IR low energy conformal window, but our results are exact at all…

We study non-equilibrium dynamics induced by a sudden quench of strongly correlated Hamiltonians with all-to-all interactions. By relying on a Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) based quench protocol, we show that the time evolution of simple…

We use Krylov complexity to study operator growth in the $q$-body dissipative SYK model, where the dissipation is modeled by linear and random $p$-body Lindblad operators. In the large $q$ limit, we analytically establish the linear growth…

Sine-dilaton gravity has been proposed as the holographic dual of the double scaled SYK (DSSYK) model. In this work, we examine this duality by deriving general matter correlation functions directly from the bulk perspective. A novel…

We analyze three saddle points of the path integral computing the partition function of the SYK model with a Maldacena-Qi coupling in the double scaling limit. The three saddle points are holographically dual to three topologically…

One of us (L.S.) and H. Verlinde independently conjectured a holographic duality between the double-scaled SYK model at infinite temperature and dimensionally reduced $(2+1)$-dimensional de Sitter space [1]-[8]. Beyond the statement that…

We compute the ramp of the spectral form factor analytically from chord diagrams in double scaled SYK. We map the double-trace correlator to a sum of single trace two-point functions over a basis of operators. We then reproduce the local…
