Dear colleagues,
Next Friday, March 6,
at 13:30 CET (NOTICE THE TIME!),
David Vegh (Queen Mary University of London, UK) will give an online
talk within the Balkan String Webinar series.
Title: A "folded string" dual for the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev model
Abstract: We propose a "folded string" moving in rigid AdS2 with
imaginary radius squared as a dual of the Sachdev–Ye–Kitaev (SYK) model
at its conformal fixed point. In standard AdS2, the string is
represented by two massless particles connected by straight string
segments. The particles move at the speed of light, abruptly reversing
direction at turning points. We describe the system using the lightcone
coordinates of these points, with the Poisson structure obtained from
the Peierls bracket. In AdS2 with imaginary radius squared, quantization
of the string’s mass-squared in momentum-fraction space yields a
Pöschl–Teller equation, reproducing the SYK operator spectrum.
