Non-planar corrections in the symmetric orbifold

High Energy Physics - Theory 2026-05-08 v1

Abstract

We calculate the non-planar corrections to the anomalous dimensions of certain quarter BPS states in the symmetric product orbifold SymN(T4)\text{Sym}^N \big({\mathbb{T}^4}\big). We find that some of the degeneracies in the spectrum for large twist ww and large NN are lifted by these contributions. We furthermore find signatures of quantum chaos, namely level repulsion and random matrix statistics. This suggests that integrability is only present in the symmetric orbifold in the planar (i.e. large NN) limit.
