In this review article, we discuss connections between the physics of disordered systems, phase transitions in inference problems, and computational hardness. We introduce two models representing the behavior of glassy systems, the spiked…

If a linear combination of k smooth vector fields is zero at a point, then, generically, near this point there are small cycles comprised of segments from the flow of each vector field. This answers a question posed in arXiv:math/0504365.

We present an analytical study of a toy model for shear banding, without normal stresses, which uses a piecewise linear approximation to the flow curve (shear stress as a function of shear rate). This model exhibits multiple stationary…

The SYK model: fermions with a $q$-body, Gaussian-random, all-to-all interaction, is the first of a fascinating new class of solvable large $N$ models. We generalize SYK to include $f$ flavors of fermions, each occupying $N_a$ sites and…

We give an indication that gravity coupled to an infinite number of fields might be a renormalizable theory. A toy model with an infinite number of interacting fermions in four-dimentional space-time is analyzed. The model is finite at any…

We propose a toy model with reversible mode coupling mechanism and with trivial Hamiltonian (and hence trivial statics). The model can be analyzed exactly without relying upon uncontrolled approximation such as the factorization…

In order to better understand quantum field theory we present some toy models on finite dimensional Hilbert spaces. We discuss how these models converge to a discrete spacetime version of quantum field theory. We first define toy fermion,…

We consider a supersymmetric SYK-like model without quenched disorder that is built by coupling two kinds of fermionic N=1 tensor-valued superfields, "quarks" and "mesons". We prove that the model has a well-defined large-N limit in which…

Various extensions of standard inflationary models have been proposed recently by adding vector fields. Because they are generally motivated by large-scale anomalies, and the possibility of statistical anisotropy of primordial fluctuations,…

Quantum phase transitions between different topologically ordered phases exhibit rich structures and are generically challenging to study in microscopic lattice models. In this work, we propose a tensor-network solvable model that allows us…

In this paper, we explore supersymmetric and 2d analogs of the SYK model. We begin by working out a basis of (super)conformal eigenfunctions appropriate for expanding a four-point function. We use this to clarify some details of the 1d…

We describe new theories of composite vector and tensor (p-form) gauge fields made out of zero-dimensional constituent scalar fields (``primitives''). The local gauge symmetry is replaced by an infinite-dimensional global Noether symmetry…

We investigate for the N = 2 supersymmetry (SUSY) a relation between a vector supermultiplet of the linear SUSY and the Volkov-Akulov model of the nonlinear SUSY. We express component fields of the vector supermultiplet in terms 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…

Perturbing the standard Gross-Neveu model for $N^3$ fermions by quartic interactions with the appropriate tensorial contraction patterns, we reduce the original $U(N^3)$ symmetry to either $U(N)\times U(N^2)$ or $U(N)\times U(N)\times…

We consider a massive vector field with derivative interactions that propagates only the 3 desired polarizations (besides two tensor polarizations from gravity) with second-order equations of motion in curved space-time. The cosmological…

We study dynamic field theories for nonconserving $N$-vector models that are subject to spatial-anisotropic bias perturbations. We first investigate the conditions under which these field theories can have a single length scale. When N=2 or…

We study a solvable QCD--like toy theory, a generalization of the Nambu--Jona-Lasinio model, which implements chiral symmetries of light quarks and heavy quark symmetry. The chiral symmetric and chiral broken phases can be dynamically…

We discuss a 1+1 dimensional generalization of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. The model contains $N$ Majorana fermions at each lattice site with a nearest-neighbour hopping term. The SYK random interaction is restricted to low momentum…

We analyze the quantum chaotic behavior of the Yukawa-SYK model as a function of filling and temperature, which describes random Yukawa interactions between $N$ complex fermions and $M$ bosons in zero spatial dimensions, for both the…
