We present a one-parameter family of large $N$ disordered models, with and without supersymmetry, in three spacetime dimensions. They interpolate from the critical large $N$ vector model dual to a classical higher spin theory, towards a theory with a classical string dual. We analyze the spectrum and OPE data of the theories. While the supersymmetric model is always well-behaved the non-supersymmetric model is unitary only over a small parameter range. We offer some speculations on the origin of strings from the higher spins.

  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.
