We study a 2-dimensional SYK model with $\mathcal{N}=(0,2)$ supersymmetry. The model describes $N$ chiral supermultiplets and $M$ Fermi supermultiplets with a $(q+1)$-field interaction. We solve the model analytically and numerically in the $N\gg 1$, $M\gg 1$ limit with $\mu\equiv \frac{M}{N}$ being a free parameter. Two distinct higher-spin symmetries emerge when the $\mu$ parameter approaches the two ends of its range. This is verified by the appearance of conserved higher-spin operators and the vanishing of chaotic behaviors in the two limits. Therefore this model provides a manifest realization of the widely believed connection between SYK-like models and higher-spin theories. In addition, as the parameter $\mu$ varies we find the largest Lyapunov exponent of this model to be slightly larger than that in models with non-chiral supersymmetry. A tensor model without random couplings that shares the same infrared physics is also introduced.

  1. Thermal two-point functions in SYK and complex-time singularities

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    The large-N SYK thermal two-point function exhibits complex-time singularities—an effective-temperature pole and a subleading bouncing-geodesic-like singularity—that persist from infinite to zero temperature.

  2. Non-planar corrections in the symmetric orbifold

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Non-planar corrections lift degeneracies in the spectrum of quarter BPS states in Sym^N(T^4) and introduce level repulsion plus random matrix statistics, showing integrability is restricted to the large N planar limit.
