Replica symmetry breaking in random matrix model: a toy model of wormhole networks

Abstract

We study the replica symmetry breaking (RSB) in the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) random matrix model. We find that the RSB occurs at the transition temperature $T_{\text{RSB}}\sim N^{-2/3}$ in the large $N$ limit. We argue that this transition originates from a landscape of almost degenerate local minima of free energy labeled by Young diagrams. We also discuss a possible implication of our findings for the multiply-coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev models and their holographic dual Jackiw-Teitelboim gravity from the viewpoint of ER=EPR conjecture.
