The exact 2-point function of certain physically motivated operators in SYK-like spin glass models is computed, bypassing the Schwinger-Dyson equations. The models possess an IR low energy conformal window, but our results are exact at all time scales. The main tool developed is a new approach to the combinatorics of chord diagrams, allowing to rewrite the spin glass system using an auxiliary Hilbert space, and Hamiltonian, built on the space of open chord diagrams. We argue the latter can be interpreted as the bulk description and that it reduces to the Schwarzian action in the low energy limit.

  1. q-Askey Deformations of Double-Scaled SYK

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    q-Askey deformations of double-scaled SYK yield transfer matrices for orthogonal polynomials whose semiclassical chord dynamics map to ER bridges and new geometric transitions in sine dilaton gravity.

  2. Fermionic trace relations and supersymmetric indices at finite $N$

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    The supersymmetric index in a one-fermion matrix model for N=4 SYM is independent of N due to exact cancellations between bosonic and fermionic trace relations.

  3. Chaos of Berry curvature for BPS microstates

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    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.

  4. Emergent States and Algebras from the Double-Scaling limit of Pure States in SYK

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    In double-scaled SYK, state-adapted dressed chord operators change the emergent algebra from Type II1 to Type I∞ and restore purity of KM states, unlike generic operators.

  5. Baby Universe in a Coupled SYK Model

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A saddle point in the coupled SYK model yields a bulk geometry with a baby universe whose chord-diagram Hilbert space state is entangled with the exterior, giving evidence that closed universes can carry nontrivial qu...

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The soft mode of DSSYK is dual to 3D near-de Sitter gravity with a localized dS2 slice, where effective actions, entropies, and correlators match via conformal boundary conditions on future and past infinity.

  7. Quantum chaos and the holographic principle

    quant-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 1.0

    A review of the chaos-assisted holographic correspondence linking the SYK model to 2D JT gravity, including the need for string theory corrections at fine quantum scales.
