10 Hˆ P s s 0: ( ) 0 Reason for when H11 H12 = H12 H22 E E = H H + H ( ) small small small 1. The assumption is that the matrix elements are statistically independent. Therefore probability of two levels to be degenerate vanishes. 2. If H 12 is real (orthogonal ensemble), then for s to be small two statistically independent variables ((H 22 - H 11 ) and H 12 ) should be small and thus Ps () s β = 1 3. Complex H 12 (unitary ensemble) both Re(H 12 ) and Im(H 12 ) are statistically independent three independent 2 random variables should be small Ps () s β = 2

12 ATOMS NUCLEI Main goal is to classify the eigenstates in terms of the quantum numbers For the nuclear excitations this program does not work E.P. Wigner: Random Matrices Ensemble Ensemble averaging Study spectral statistics of a particular quantum system a given nucleus Atomic Nuclei Particular quantum system Spectral averaging (over ) Nevertheless Statistics of the nuclear spectra are almost exactly the same as the Random Matrix Statistics
13 P(s) Particular nucleus 166 Er s P(s) Spectra of several nuclei combined (after rescaling by the mean level spacing)
14 Q: Why the random matrix theory (RMT) works so well for nuclear spectra Original answer: These are systems with a large number of degrees of freedom, and therefore the complexity is high Later it became clear that there exist very simple systems with as many as 2 degrees of freedom (d=2), which demonstrate RMT - like spectral statistics
15 Classical (h =0) Dynamical Systems with d degrees of freedom Integrable Systems Examples The variables can be separated and the problem reduces to d onedimensional problems 1. A ball inside rectangular billiard; d=2 d integrals of motion Vertical motion can be separated from the horizontal one 2. Circular billiard; d=2 Radial motion can be separated from the angular one Vertical and horizontal components of the momentum, are both integrals of motion Angular momentum and energy are the integrals of motion
16 Classical Dynamical Systems with d degrees of freedom Integrable The variables can be separated d one-dimensional Systems problems d integrals of motion Chaotic Systems Examples Rectangular and circular billiard, Kepler problem,..., 1d Hubbard model and other exactly solvable models,.. The variables can not be separated there is only one integral of motion - energy B Sinai billiard Stadium Kepler problem in magnetic field
17 Classical Chaos h =0 Nonlinearities Lyapunov exponents Exponential dependence on the original conditions Ergodicity Quantum description of any System with a finite number of the degrees of freedom is a linear problem Shrodinger equation Q: What does it mean Quantum Chaos?
18 h 0 Bohigas Giannoni Schmit conjecture Chaotic classical analog Wigner- Dyson spectral statistics No quantum numbers except energy
19 Q: What does it mean Quantum Chaos? Two possible definitions Chaotic classical analog Wigner - Dyson-like spectrum
20 Classical Integrable? Quantum Poisson Chaotic? Wigner- Dyson
21 Poisson to Wigner-Dyson crossover Important example: quantum particle subject to a random potential disordered conductor Scattering centers, e.g., impurities e As well as in the case of Random Matrices (RM) there is a luxury of ensemble averaging. The problem is much richer than RM theory There is still a lot of universality. Anderson localization (1958) At strong enough disorder all eigenstates are localized in space

Wigner-Dyson to Poisson crossover Speculations Consider an integrable system. Each state is characterized by a set of quantum numbers. It can be viewed as a point in the space of quantum numbers. The whole set of the states forms a lattice in this space. A perturbation that violates the integrability provides matrix elements of the hopping between different sites (Anderson model!?)
37 Weak enough hopping - Localization - Poisson Strong hopping - transition to Wigner-Dyson Does Anderson localization provide a generic scenario for the Wigner- Dyson to Poisson crossover Q:? Consider an integrable system. Each state is characterized by a set of quantum numbers. It can be viewed as a point in the space of quantum numbers. The whole set of the states forms a lattice in this space. A perturbation that violates the integrability provides matrix elements of the hopping between different sites (Anderson model!?)
38 The very definition of the localization is not invariant one should specify in which space the eigenstates are localized. Level statistics is invariant: Poissonian statistics eigenfunctions basis where the are localized Wigner -Dyson statistics basis the eigenfunctions are extended

46 What does it mean - non-fermi liquid? What does it mean Fermi liquid?
47 Fermi Liquid Fermi statistics Low temperatures Not too strong interactions Fermi Liquid Translation invariance What does it mean?
48 Fermi statistics Low temperatures Not too strong interactions Translation invariance It means that Fermi Liquid 1. Excitations are similar to the excitations in a Fermi-gas: a) the same quantum numbers momentum, spin ½, charge e b) decay rate is small as compared with the excitation energy 2. Substantial renormalizations. For example, in a Fermi gas n µ, γ = c T, χ gµ are all equal to the one-particle density of states. These quantities are different in a Fermi liquid B
49 Signatures of the Fermi - Liquid state?! 1. Resistivity is proportional to T 2 : L.D. Landau & I.Ya. Pomeranchuk To the properties of metals at very low temperatures ; Zh.Exp.Teor.Fiz., 1936, v.10, p.649 The increase of the resistance caused by the interaction between the electrons is proportional to T 2 and at low temperatures exceeds the usual resistance, which is proportional to T 5. the sum of the momenta of the interaction electrons can change by an integer number of the periods of the reciprocal lattice. Therefore the momentum increase caused by the electric field can be destroyed by the interaction between the electrons, not only by the thermal oscillations of the lattice.
50 Signatures of the Fermi - Liquid state?! 1. Resistivity is proportional to T 2 : L.D. Landau & I.Ya. Pomeranchuk To the properties of metals at very low temperatures ; Zh.Exp.Teor.Fiz., 1936, v.10, p.649 Umklapp electron electron scattering dominates the charge transport (?!) 2. Jump in the momentum distribution function at T=0. 2a. Pole in the one-particle Green function G r ( ε, p) = iε n Z ξ r ( p) n( p r ) Fermi liquid = 0<Z<1 (?!) p F p

Can Fermi liquid survive without the momenta Does it make sense to speak about the Fermi liquid state in the presence of a quenched disorder
52 Q: Does it make sense to speak about the Fermi liquid state in the presence of a quenched disorder 1. Momentum is not a good quantum number the momentum uncertainty is inverse proportional to the elastic mean free path, l. The step in the momentum distribution function is broadened by this uncertainty n( p r ) 2. Neither resistivity nor its temperature dependence is determined by the umklapp processes and thus does not behave as T 2 3. Sometimes (e.g., for random quenched magnetic field) the disorder averaged oneparticle Green function even without interactions does not have a pole as a function of the energy, ε. The residue, Z, makes no sense. Nevertheless even in the presence of the disorder Nevertheless even in the presence of the disorder I. Excitations are similar to the excitations in a disordered Fermi-gas. II. Small decay rate III. Substantial renormalizations ~ p F h l? p
53 One-particle problem (Thouless,( 1972) 1. Mean level spacing L energy δ 1 = 1/ν L d Energy scales 2. Thouless energy E = hd/l 2 T D is the diffusion const δ 1 L is the system size; d is the number of dimensions E T has a meaning of the inverse diffusion time of the traveling through the system or the escape rate. (for open systems) dimensionless Thouless conductance g = E T / δ 1 g = Gh/e 2

Substantial renormalizations Isn t it a Fermi liquid? Fermi liquid behavior follows from the fact that different wave functions are almost uncorrelated
75 CONCLUSIONS Anderson localization provides a generic scenario for the transition between chaotic and integrable behavior. One-particle chaos + moderate interaction of the electrons a to a rather simple Hamiltonian of the system, which can be called Zero-dimensional Fermi liquid. The main parameter that justifies this description is the Thouless conductance, which is supposed to be large Excitations are characterized by their one-particle energy, charge and spin, but not by their momentum. These excitations have the lifetime, which is proportional to the Thouless conductance, i.e., is long. This approach allows to describe Coulomb blockade (renormalization of the compressibility), as well as the substantial renormalization of the magnetic susceptibility and effects of superconducting pairing
