Spectral Edge of the Quartic SYK Model

Determine the leading asymptotic of the largest eigenvalue of the NN-Majorana quartic SYK Hamiltonian as NN \to \infty. The preprint proves λ1/N40g0(t)4dt0.32504\lambda_1/\sqrt{N} \to 4\int_0^\infty g_0(t)^4\,dt \approx 0.32504 almost surely, via the limiting free energy at every fixed positive temperature.

What the AI did

Developed with GPT-5.6; the finite-bath interpolation reduces the quartic SYK pressure to a local cavity-kernel identity.

Verification

Single-author arXiv preprint; independent review pending, so this is recorded as a candidate rather than an accepted resolution.
