Spectral form factor in sparse SYK models

Abstract: We investigate the spectral form factor of the sparse Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model. We use numerical methods to establish that at intermediate times the connected part of the spectral form factor is the dominant one. These connected contributions arise from fluctuations around the disconnected geometry, not from a new saddle point. A similar effect was previously conjectured in SYK but required a value of N out of reach of current numerical simulations.

“…) ∼ 2 N∕2 , the number of coupling terms in this model is relatively small. However, as demonstrated in the aforementioned references, [7][8][9][10] even if a number of coupling terms on the order of O(N) are retained, the model continues to exhibit predominantly chaotic behavior. While much of the initial motivation for pruning the SYK model stemmed from simulating SYK on a quantum computer with the hope of gaining insights into properties of quantum gravity models, pruning the SYK also gives rise to broader questions related to deviations from chaotic behavior.…”

“…[6] The idea of simplifying the classical computation involved in the SYK model by removing certain coupling terms was proposed in several previous studies. [7][8][9][10] The approach involved pruning the coupling terms either randomly or by ensuring that each site is coupled to a fixed fraction of other sites. In ref.…”

“…Rigorous proofs of quantum chaos by computing the SFF have been preformed in kicked spin chains [ 17 , 18 ] and more generally in dual-unitary circuits [ 19 , 20 ]. In the high-energy physics context, for example, studies of the SFF have been performed in Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev-type models [ 21 , 22 , 23 , 24 ] and using hydrodynamic theories [ 25 ]. Pioneering experimental studies of the SFF were carried out on excitation spectra of molecules [ 26 ] and microwave billiards [ 27 ].…”
