Precise statement

For the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Hamiltonian on $n$ Majorana modes with $k$-body interactions, the paper proves $\mathbb{E}\|H\|_{op} = (1-o(1))\sqrt{2n}/k$ for super-constant $k \le o(\sqrt{n})$, confirming predictions of Garcia-Garcia, Jia and Verbaarschot and answering a question of Feng, Tian and Wei.

The source statement is reproduced for indexing with attribution. Mathematical correctness requires domain-expert or mechanical review. VibeMath has not independently audited statement fidelity, correctness, priority, or novelty.

What AI did

GPT-5.5 Pro / GPT-5.6 Pro

The authors analysed a preliminary version of their explicit deterministic operator with GPT-5.5 Pro and GPT-5.6 Pro, and credit GPT-5.6 Pro with suggesting Lemma 4.6, Proposition 4.14 and Lemma 4.15. They also used it to search related literature and to assist with verifying technical proofs.

Verification boundary

unreviewed

No independent check. The disclosure is unusually specific, naming the three results the model contributed, which is what makes the co-developed tier defensible here. Preprint, not refereed.
