Abstract
In this article, starting from a review of basic aspects of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model in the large N limit, we discuss at non-linear-level the deduction of the zero mode effective Schwarzian action, featuring emergent finite reparametrization symmetry. We then discuss the question of identifying the bulk space-time of the SYK model. We explain the need for non-local (Radon-type) transformations on external legs of n-point Green’s functions, leading to a dual theory with Euclidean AdS signature with additional leg-factors. We show that the SYK spectrum and the bi-local propagator can be obtained from a Horava-Witten type compactification of a three dimensional model.
