Abstract
We review our recent work [arXiv:2009.10759] where we studied the chaotic property of the two coupled Sachdev-Ye-Kitaev systems exhibiting a Hawking-Page like phase transition. By computing the out-of-time-ordered correlator in the large N limit by using the bilocal field formalism, we found that the chaos exponent of this model shows a discontinuous fall-off at the phase transition temperature. Hence in this model the Hawking-Page like transition is correlated with a transition in chaoticity, as expected from the relation between a black hole geometry and the chaotic behavior in the dual field theory.

Report
As this is a review article, one suggestion which might benefit the readers is to focus on the explanation of physics a bit more. For example, the discussion (page 4) about the phase diagram with respect to the temperature and the coupling ($\mu$) is very interesting but somewhat limited. A slightly more elaborated discussion or explanation about the physics or implication behind the result would definitely be welcome.
The review is interesting and well written.
Requested changes
1- Just a small typo. On page 2, 9th line below equation (2), it should read "exhibits" instead of "exhibis".
2- Please state the definition of $\left\langle \dots \right\rangle_{ J_\alpha}$ in equation 7. (I presume it refers to disorder average discussed in the first paragraph of section 2 but a clear definition would be helpful.)
3-Similarly for equation 12, it is helpful to define the meaning of expectation value. (Thermal average etc.)
