Precise Low-Temperature Expansions for the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev model

Abstract

We solve numerically the large $N$ Dyson-Schwinger equations for the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model utilizing the Legendre polynomial decomposition and reaching $10^{-36}$ accuracy. Using this we compute the energy of the SYK model at low temperatures $T\ll J$ and obtain its series expansion up to $T^{7.54}$. While it was suggested that the expansion contains terms $T^{3.77}$ and $T^{5.68}$, we find that the first non-integer power of temperature is $T^{6.54}$, which comes from the two point function of the fermion bilinear operator $O_{h_1}=\chi {\partial }_{\tau }^3\chi$ with scaling dimension $h_1\approx 3.77$. The coefficient in front of $T^{6.54}$ term agrees well with the prediction of the conformal perturbation theory. We conclude that the conformal perturbation theory appears to work even though the SYK model is not strictly conformal.
