Onset of many-body chaos in the O(N) model

The growth of commutators of initially commuting local operators diagnoses the onset of chaos in quantum many-body systems. We compute such commutators of local field operators with N components in the (2+1)-dimensional O(N) nonlinear sigma model to leading order in 1/N. The system is taken to be in...
