Dissipative Dynamics and Symmetry Breaking in Bosonic Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev Lindbladian
Abstract
We investigate a bosonic variant of the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model coupled to a Lindbladian environment, focusing on the interplay between quantum many-body dynamics and dissipation. Using the Schwinger-Keldysh path integral formalism in the large-N limit, we uncover a rich phase structure, including symmetry breaking and phase transitions. Our results suggest that the dissipation can partially tame the instability of the inverted potential, leading to novel steady-state phases. We also identify regimes with multiple competing saddle points and discuss potential implications for the landscape of metastable states.
