An SYK-Like Model Without Disorder

TL;DR

This paper introduces a tensor model that replicates the SYK model's large N behavior without requiring disorder, potentially advancing holographic duality research.

Contribution

It presents a disorder-free tensor model that matches the SYK model's large N correlation functions and thermodynamics.

Findings

Replicates SYK model's large N correlation functions

Matches thermodynamic properties of SYK model

Provides a disorder-free alternative for holographic studies

Abstract

Making use of known facts about "tensor models," it is possible to construct a quantum system without quenched disorder that has the same large $n$ limit for its correlation functions and thermodynamics as the SYK model. This might be useful in further probes of this approach to holographic duality.
