abstract

We discuss the probability distribution for the "size" of a time-evolving operator in the SYK model. Scrambling is related to the fact that as time passes, the distribution shifts towards larger operators. Initially, the rate is exponential and determined by the infinite-temperature chaos exponent. We evaluate the size distribution numerically for $N = 30$, and show how to compute it in the large-$N$ theory using the dressed fermion propagator. We then evaluate the distribution explicitly at leading nontrivial order in the large-$q$ expansion.

Probing the Chaos to Integrability Transition in Double-Scaled SYK

hep-th · 2026-01-14 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

A first-order phase transition in the Berkooz-Brukner-Jia-Mamroud interpolating model causes chord number, Krylov complexity, and operator size to switch discontinuously from chaotic (linear/exponential) to quasi-integrable (quadratic) growth.

Krylov Complexity

hep-th · 2025-07-08 · unverdicted · novelty 2.0

Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.
