The SYK model consists of $N\gg 1$ fermions in $0+1$ dimensions with a random, all-to-all quartic interaction. Recently, Kitaev has found that the SYK model is maximally chaotic and has proposed it as a model of holography. We solve the Schwinger-Dyson equation and compute the spectrum of two-particle states in SYK, finding both a continuous and discrete tower. The four-point function is expressed as a sum over the spectrum. The sum over the discrete tower is evaluated.

  3. Quantum mechanical bootstrap without inequalities: SYK bilinear spectrum

    hep-th 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Fractional operator powers generate non-positivity constraints that determine the SYK bilinear spectrum and converge to exact eigenvalues under truncation.

    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.

    Projective geometry and Cayley transformations provide a common framework for the free particle-oscillator correspondences via the Schwarzian cocycle.
