Description
SYK models are being considered as a toy version of black holes. Years ago this class of models quantum as well as classical) had been proposed as toy versions of glasses, and as such, extensively studied. In particular, time reparametrization was already a main player there. It seems that we have things to learn from the developments taking place now in field theory, and maybe we have something  to offer.
