We initiate the study of a three dimensional disordered supersymmetric field theory. Specifically, we consider a $\mathcal{N}=2$ large $N$ Wess-Zumino like model with cubic superpotential involving couplings drawn from a Gaussian random ensemble. Taking inspiration from analyses of lower dimensional SYK like models we demonstrate that the theory flows to a strongly coupled superconformal fixed point in the infra-red. In particular, we obtain leading large $N$ spectral data and operator product coefficients at the critical point. Moreover, the analytic control accorded by the model allows us to compare our results against those derived in the conformal bootstrap program and demonstrate consistency with general expectations.

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

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    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.

  2. Non-planar corrections in the symmetric orbifold

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-planar corrections lift degeneracies in the spectrum of quarter BPS states in Sym^N(T^4) and introduce level repulsion plus random matrix statistics, showing integrability is restricted to the large N planar limit.
