The SYK Model by David Gross

International Centre for Theoretical Sciences via YouTube

Overview

Explore the intricacies of the SYK model in this comprehensive Kavli Distinguished Lecture delivered by David Gross from KITP - University of California, Santa Barbara. Delve into the perspective on large N theories, their significance in quantum field theory, and their role in gauge-gravity dualities. Gain insights into the SACHDEV-YE KITAEV model, its coupling constants, and matrix model planar diagrams. Examine SYK melon diagrams, 2-point and 4-point functions, and the SYK spectrum. Investigate conformal symmetry breaking, the Schwarzian, and generalizations of the model, including tensor SYK and colored tensor models. Discover the connections between bulk gravity/string theory and the SYK model, and explore future directions in this field. Conclude with a Q&A session to further enhance your understanding of this complex topic in theoretical physics.
