We show that the proper inclusion of soft reparameterization modes in the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model of $N$ randomly interacting Majorana fermions reduces its long-time behavior to that of Liouville quantum mechanics. As a result, all zero temperature correlation functions decay with the universal exponent $\propto \tau^{-3/2}$ for times larger than the inverse single particle level spacing $\tau\gg N\ln N$. In the particular case of the single particle Green function this behavior is manifestation of the zero-bias anomaly, or scaling in energy as $\epsilon^{1/2}$. We also present exact diagonalization study supporting our conclusions.

  1. Quantum JT Gravity in a box as a P\"oschl-Teller Scattering Problem

    hep-th 2026-07 unverdicted novelty 8.0

    JT gravity in a box is quantized exactly by recasting its dynamics as Pöschl-Teller scattering, producing closed-form wavefunctions and correlators with finite-cutoff corrections beyond T Tbar.

  2. All-order fluctuating hydrodynamics of the SYK lattice

    hep-th 2026-04 conditional novelty 8.0

    Derives the all-order fluctuating hydrodynamics effective action and transport coefficients for the SYK lattice from its microscopic pseudo-Goldstone boson action.

  3. JT gravity on the worldline

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 7.0

    Coupling a worldline observer to JT gravity replaces its evolution operator by an exactly computed average over fluctuating Euclidean times; the fluctuations are small in the disk but large on the double trumpet.

  4. Falling through the horizon of a quantum black hole

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.5

    Gravitational dressing in JT gravity lets an infalling Unruh-DeWitt detector detect the horizon location and temperature locally, violating the equivalence principle without a firewall.

  5. Inner Horizon Saddles and a Spectral KSW Criterion

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Inner horizon saddles supply the semiclassical correction -exp(A_inner/4G) to near-extremal black-hole entropy and motivate a spectral KSW criterion for well-defined one-loop effects around complex gravitational saddles.

  6. Resolving Black Hole Singularities in Jackiw-Teitelboim Gravity

    hep-th 2026-02 conditional novelty 6.0

    In JT gravity, the left confining potential required by spectral discreteness makes the wormhole length turn around and plateau, allowing boundary time to run past the would-be singularity and eliminating future horizons.

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

    hep-th 2025-12 conditional novelty 6.0

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

  8. Krylov Complexity

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 2.0

    Krylov complexity is a canonical, parameter-independent measure of operator spreading that probes chaotic dynamics to late times and admits a geometric interpretation in holographic duals.

  9. 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.
