Explore the intricate connections between backreaction, quantum chaos, and emergent geometry in SYK–JT gravity systems through this comprehensive seminar delivered by Professor Chente Ma from Great Bay University. Delve into the theoretical foundations of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model and Jackiw-Teitelboim (JT) gravity, examining how these frameworks illuminate the relationship between quantum mechanical systems and gravitational theories. Investigate the phenomenon of backreaction in these models, understanding how quantum fluctuations influence the classical gravitational background and lead to non-trivial dynamical effects. Analyze the manifestation of quantum chaos in SYK-JT systems, exploring how these models exhibit maximal chaos and their implications for black hole physics and holographic duality. Discover how emergent geometry arises naturally from the quantum mechanical degrees of freedom in these systems, providing insights into the fundamental nature of spacetime at the quantum level. Examine the mathematical techniques used to study these complex systems, including path integral methods, large-N expansions, and holographic correspondence principles. Learn about the latest developments in understanding the interplay between quantum information, gravity, and emergent spacetime geometry through the lens of these powerful theoretical models. This seminar is part of the "Quantum field theory with boundaries, impurities, and defects" program at the Isaac Newton Institute for Mathematical Sciences.
