abstract

We investigate the time evolution of the complexity of the operator by the Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev (SYK) model with $N$ Majorana fermions. We follow Nielsen's idea of complexity geometry and geodesics thereof. We show that it is possible that the bi-invariant complexity geometry can exhibit the conjectured time evolution of the complexity in chaotic systems: i) linear growth until $t\sim e^{N}$, ii) saturation and small fluctuations after then. We also show that the Lloyd's bound is realized in this model. Interestingly, these characteristic features appear only if the complexity geometry is the most natural "non-Riemannian" Finsler geometry. This serves as a concrete example showing that the bi-invariant complexity may be a competitive candidate for the complexity in quantum mechanics/field theory (QM/QFT). We provide another argument showing a naturalness of bi-invariant complexity in QM/QFT. That is that the bi-invariance naturally implies the equivalence of the right-invariant complexity and left-invariant complexity, either of which may correspond to the complexity of a given operator. Without bi-invariance, one needs to answer why only right (left) invariant complexity corresponds to the "complexity", instead of only left (right) invariant complexity.

  1. Complexity measures in QFT and constrained geometric actions

    hep-th 2019-08 reject novelty 7.0 of 10

    The authors claim to rule out inhomogeneous complexity costs such as F_kappa and F_sigma^2 and to single out F_⟨H^2⟩ as the canonical complexity measure, but the no-go proof is incomplete.

  2. Towards the Web of Quantum Chaos Diagnostics

    hep-th 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Haar-averaged higher-point out-of-time-order correlators equal multi-fold Loschmidt echoes, and complexity is conjectured to satisfy C^2 ~ -log LE.

  3. Reflections on Virasoro circuit complexity and Berry phase

    hep-th 2019-08 reject novelty 3.0 of 10

    A claimed identification of Virasoro circuit complexity with the Berry connection fails a basic consistency check for pure rotations.
