abstract
We discuss a supersymmetric generalization of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. These are quantum mechanical models involving $N$ Majorana fermions. The supercharge is given by a polynomial expression in terms of the Majorana fermions with random coefficients. The Hamiltonian is the square of the supercharge. The ${\cal N}=1$ model with a single supercharge has unbroken supersymmetry at large $N$, but non-perturbatively spontaneously broken supersymmetry in the exact theory. We analyze the model by looking at the large $N$ equation, and also by performing numerical computations for small values of $N$. We also compute the large $N$ spectrum of "singlet" operators, where we find a structure qualitatively similar to the ordinary SYK model. We also discuss an ${\cal N}=2$ version. In this case, the model preserves supersymmetry in the exact theory and we can compute a suitably weighted Witten index to count the number of ground states, which agrees with the large $N$ computation of the entropy. In both cases, we discuss the supersymmetric generalizations of the Schwarzian action which give the dominant effects at low energies.

Berry curvature of BPS states is random-matrix-like for supersymmetric black hole microstates but non-random and often zero for horizonless geometries, offering a chaos diagnostic in degenerate sectors.
The large-N SYK thermal two-point function exhibits complex-time singularities—an effective-temperature pole and a subleading bouncing-geodesic-like singularity—that persist from infinite to zero temperature.
Numerical analysis shows that spectral statistics of a BPS-projected operator in an interpolating N=2 SYK model transition from random-matrix to Poisson behavior as the model moves from chaotic to integrable.
Exact BPS spectra for tr(Ψ^p) matrix models at p=5,7 and small N factor as p^k x^{q_min} (1+x)^N times palindromic polynomial, with mod-p index floors bounding large-N growth between log(2 cos(π/2p)) and log 2.
Numerical confirmation that SYK models reproduce RMT spectral edge statistics, yielding power-law quenched entropy at low T and enabling large-N entanglement entropy calculations for supersymmetric wormholes.
Numerical study of the SYK-q spin model finds rapid entanglement growth to Haar-random saturation, a universal Rényi-1/2 mutual information vs negativity relation at minimal q, and Page-curve behavior in negativity under unequal partitions.
Reviews the FL* theory for cuprates using ancilla layer models and SU(2) gauge theories to explain pseudogap hole pockets of area p/8, Fermi arcs, and transitions to d-wave superconductivity and Fermi liquid behavior.
This note assesses the Migdal-Eliashberg approximation in the Schwinger-Dyson gap equation against variants of the Yukawa-SYK model and comments on pseudo-holographic aspects of fermion pairing.
