On the classical limit of quantum mechanics, fundamental graininess and chaos: compatibility of chaos with the correspondence principle

The aim of this paper is to review the classical limit of Quantum Mechanics and to precise the well known threat of chaos (and fundamental graininess)to the correspondence principle. We will introduce a formalism for this classical limit that allows us to find the surfaces defined by the constants of the motion in phase space. Then in the integrable case we will find the classical trajectories, and in the non-integrable one the fact that regular initial cells become "amoeboid-like". This deformations and their consequences can be considered as a threat to the correspondence principle unless we take into account the characteristic timescales of quantum chaos. Essentially we present an analysis of the problem similar to the one of Omn\`{e}s [10,11], but with a simpler mathematical structure.Comment: 27 pages, 6 figure

Gaussian ensembles distributions from mixing quantum systems

In the context of the mixing dynamical systems we present a derivation of the Gaussian ensembles distributions from mixing quantum systems having a classical analog that is mixing. We find that mixing factorization property is satisfied for the mixing quantum systems expressed as a factorization of quantum mean values. For the case of the kicked rotator and in its fully chaotic regime, the factorization property links decoherence by dephasing with Gaussian ensembles in terms of the weak limit, interpreted as a decohered state. Moreover, a discussion about the connection between random matrix theory and quantum chaotic systems, based on some attempts made in previous works and from the viewpoint of the mixing quantum systems, is presented

Projective moduli space of semistable principal sheaves for a reductive group

Let X be a smooth projective complex variety, and let G be an algebraic reductive complex group. We define the notion of principal G-sheaf, that generalises the notion of principal G-bundle. Then we define a notion of semistability, and construct the projective moduli space of semistable principal G-sheaves on X. This is a natural compactification of the moduli space of principal G-bundles. This is the announcement note presented by the second author in the conference held at Catania (11-13 April 2001), dedicated to the 60th birthday of Silvio Greco. Detailed proofs will appear elsewhere.Comment: 10 pages, LaTeX2e. Submitted to the conference proceedings of "Commutative Algebra and Algebraic Geometry", Catania, April 200
