Energy absorption in time-dependent unitary random matrix ensembles: dynamic vs Anderson localization

We consider energy absorption in an externally driven complex system of noninteracting fermions with the chaotic underlying dynamics described by the unitary random matrices. In the absence of quantum interference the energy absorption rate W(t) can be calculated with the help of the linear-response Kubo formula. We calculate the leading two-loop interference correction to the semiclassical absorption rate for an arbitrary time dependence of the external perturbation. Based on the results for periodic perturbations, we make a conjecture that the dynamics of the periodically-driven random matrices can be mapped onto the one-dimensional Anderson model. We predict that in the regime of strong dynamic localization W(t) ln(t)/t^2 rather than decays exponentially.Comment: 6 pages, 1 figur

Interference induced metallic-like behavior of a two-dimensional hole gas in asymmetric GaAs/Inx_{x}Ga1−x_{1-x}As/GaAs quantum well

The temperature and magnetic field dependences of the conductivity of the heterostructures with asymmetric In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$As quantum well are studied. It is shown that the metallic-like temperature dependence of the conductivity observed in the structures investigated is quantitatively understandable within the whole temperature range, $T=0.4-20$ K. It is caused by the interference quantum correction at fast spin relaxation for 0.4 K$< T < 1.5$ K. At higher temperatures, 1.5 K$<T<4$ K, it is due to the interaction quantum correction. Finally, at $T>4-6$ K, the metallic-like behavior is determined by the phonon scattering.Comment: 4 pages, 4 figure

Level statistics inside the core of a superconductive vortex

Microscopic theory of the type of Efetov's supermatrix sigma-model is constructed for the low-lying electron states in a mixed superconductive-normal system with disorder. The developed technique is used for the study of the localized states in the core of a vortex in a moderately clean superconductor (1/\Delta << \tau << 1/\omega_0 = E_F/\Delta^2). At sufficiently low energies E << \omega_{Th}, the energy level statistics is described by the "zero-dimensional" limit of this supermatrix theory, with the effective "Thouless energy" \omega_{Th} \sim (\omega_0/\tau)^{1/2}. Within this energy range the result for the density of states is equivalent to that obtained within Altland-Zirnbauer random matrix model of class C. Nonzero modes of the sigma-model increase the mean interlevel distance \omega_0 by the relative amount of the order of [2\ln(1/\omega_0\tau)]^{-1}.Comment: 5 pages, RevTeX. One error is corrected, also two references are added. Submitted to JETP Letter

Unfolded Scalar Supermultiplet

Unfolded equations of motion for N = 1, D = 4 scalar supermultiplet are presented. We show how the superspace formulation emerges from the unfolded formulation. To analyze supersymmetric unfolded equations we extend the \sigma_-cohomology technics to the case with several operators \sigma_. The role of higher \sigma_-cohomology in the derivation of constraints is emphasized and illustrated by the example of scalar supermultiplet.Comment: 27 pages, no figures; minor corrections: clarifications added, typos correcte

Maxwell-like Lagrangians for higher spins

We show how implementing invariance under divergence-free gauge transformations leads to a remarkably simple Lagrangian description of massless bosons of any spin. Our construction covers both flat and (A)dS backgrounds and extends to tensors of arbitrary mixed-symmetry type. Irreducible and traceless fields produce single-particle actions, while whenever trace constraints can be dispensed with the resulting Lagrangians display the same reducible, multi-particle spectra as those emerging from the tensionless limit of free open-string field theory. For all explored options the corresponding kinetic operators take essentially the same form as in the spin-one, Maxwell case.Comment: 77 pages, revised version. Erroneous interpretation and proof of the gauge-fixing procedure for mixed-symmetry fields corrected. As a consequence, the mixed-symmetry, one-particle Lagrangians are to be complemented with conditions on the divergences of the fields; all other conclusions unchanged. Additional minor changes including references added. To appear in JHE

Gauge fields in (A)dS within the unfolded approach: algebraic aspects

It has recently been shown that generalized connections of the (A)dS space symmetry algebra provide an effective geometric and algebraic framework for all types of gauge fields in (A)dS, both for massless and partially-massless. The equations of motion are equipped with a nilpotent operator called $\sigma_-$ whose cohomology groups correspond to the dynamically relevant quantities like differential gauge parameters, dynamical fields, gauge invariant field equations, Bianchi identities etc. In the paper the $\sigma_-$-cohomology is computed for all gauge theories of this type and the field-theoretical interpretation is discussed. In the simplest cases the $\sigma_-$-cohomology is equivalent to the ordinary Lie algebra cohomology.Comment: 59 pages, replaced with revised verio

First order parent formulation for generic gauge field theories

We show how a generic gauge field theory described by a BRST differential can systematically be reformulated as a first order parent system whose spacetime part is determined by the de Rham differential. In the spirit of Vasiliev's unfolded approach, this is done by extending the original space of fields so as to include their derivatives as new independent fields together with associated form fields. Through the inclusion of the antifield dependent part of the BRST differential, the parent formulation can be used both for on and off-shell formulations. For diffeomorphism invariant models, the parent formulation can be reformulated as an AKSZ-type sigma model. Several examples, such as the relativistic particle, parametrized theories, Yang-Mills theory, general relativity and the two dimensional sigma model are worked out in details.Comment: 36 pages, additional sections and minor correction

Anomalous flux-flow dynamics in layered type-II superconductors at low temperatures

Low-temperature dissipation due to vortex motion in strongly anisotropic type-II superconductors with a moderate disorder ($\Delta^2/E_F \ll \hbar/\tau \ll \Delta$) is shown to be determined by the Zener-type transitions between the localized electronic states in the vortex core. Statistics of these levels is described by the random matrix ensemble of the class C defined recently by Atland and Zirnbauer [cond-mat/9602137], so the vortex motion leads naturally to the new example of a parametric statistics of energy levels. The flux-flow conductivity $\sigma_{xx}$ is a bit lower than the quasiclassical one and {\it grows} slowly with the increase of the electric field.Comment: 4 pages, Revte

Local correlations of different eigenfunctions in a disordered wire

We calculate the correlator of the local density of states in quasi-one-dimensional disordered wires in a magnetic field, assuming that |r_1-r_2| is much smaller than the localization length. This amounts to finding the zero mode of the transfer-matrix Hamiltonian for the supersymmetric sigma-model, which is done exactly by the mapping to the three-dimensional Coulomb problem. Both the regimes of level repulsion and level attraction are obtained, depending on |r_1-r_2|. We demonstrate that the correlations of different eigenfunctions in the quasi-one-dimensional and strictly one-dimensional cases are dissimilar.Comment: 5 pages, 2 figures. v2: an error in treating the spatial dependence of correlations is correcte
