Birth and Death in Two-color ABJM
Abstract
We solve exactly the leading quantum deformation of the two-point metric of half-BPS operators in U(2)× U(2) ABJM theory at finite rank. In the natural coupling-independent Schur frame, its tree-normalized two-loop correction is a Jacobi operator on the chain of two-row Young diagrams. A ground-state transform maps it to a reversible birth--death process whose stationary distribution is the Plancherel measure conditioned on diagrams with at most two rows. Its eigenmodes are Racah polynomials, its large-n limit approaches radial Ornstein--Uhlenbeck dynamics, and an equivalent two-spin description identifies the Jacobi operator with a restricted SU(2) Casimir.
