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.

  1. Extended JT supergravity and random matrix models: The power of the string equation

    hep-th 2025-07 conditional novelty 7.0 of 10

    The string equation, with simple analyticity requirements, determines BPS sectors from non-BPS sectors and yields matrix model descriptions for N=3 and large N=4 JT supergravity.

  2. Thermal two-point functions in SYK and complex-time singularities

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. $E$ and $J$ type $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ disordered models and higher-spin symmetry

    hep-th 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The E-type N=(0,2) disordered model is dynamically equivalent to the J-type model in the IR, inheriting its emergent higher-spin symmetry.

  4. Grand Canonical vs Canonical Krylov Complexity in Double-Scaled Complex SYK Model

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In double-scaled complex SYK, grand-canonical Krylov complexity is the charge-weighted sum of canonical complexities, saturating a conjectured inequality.

  5. Krylov Complexity of Supersymmetric SYK Models

    hep-th 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In finite-size N=2 SYK, breaking supersymmetry with an irrelevant deformation pushes late-time Krylov complexity to roughly half the maximal Krylov-space bound, while a mass deformation leaves saturation complexity a ...

  6. Probing the Hierarchy of Genuine Multipartite Entanglement with Generalized Latent Entropy

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A generalized latent-entropy measure orders k-uniform states, maxes out on AME states, shows odd-party random states saturate it, and distinguishes SYK variants.

  7. A folded string dual for the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

    hep-th 2025-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A folded string with imaginary AdS radius is proposed as a bulk dual of SYK, reproducing the known operator spectrum via a Pöschl-Teller equation with SYK-tuned parameters.

  8. Entanglement production in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Model and its variants

    quant-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Entanglement production rates distinguish the spin-SYK model from fermionic SYK and binary SYK, and the differences only become visible at larger system sizes.

  9. The foot, the fan, and the cuprate phase diagram: Fermi-volume-changing quantum phase transitions

    cond-mat.str-el 2025-01 conditional novelty 3.0 of 10

    The paper attributes the cuprate 'foot' to a disordered spin-density-wave transition and the 'fan' to a disorder-tuned FL-to-FL* Fermi-volume-changing transition described by a two-dimensional Yukawa-SYK model.
