The k-Point Random Matrix Kernels Obtained from One-Point Supermatrix Models
The k-point correlation functions of the Gaussian Random Matrix Ensembles are
certain determinants of functions which depend on only two arguments. They are
referred to as kernels, since they are the building blocks of all correlations.
We show that the kernels are obtained, for arbitrary level number, directly
from supermatrix models for one-point functions. More precisely, the generating
functions of the one-point functions are equivalent to the kernels. This is
surprising, because it implies that already the one-point generating function
holds essential information about the k-point correlations. This also
establishes a link to the averaged ratios of spectral determinants, i.e. of
characteristic polynomials
Norm-dependent Random Matrix Ensembles in External Field and Supersymmetry
The class of norm-dependent Random Matrix Ensembles is studied in the
presence of an external field. The probability density in those ensembles
depends on the trace of the squared random matrices, but is otherwise
arbitrary. An exact mapping to superspace is performed. A transformation
formula is derived which gives the probability density in superspace as a
single integral over the probability density in ordinary space. This is done
for orthogonal, unitary and symplectic symmetry. In the case of unitary
symmetry, some explicit results for the correlation functions are derived.Comment: 19 page
Supersymmetric Extensions of Calogero--Moser--Sutherland like Models: Construction and Some Solutions
We introduce a new class of models for interacting particles. Our
construction is based on Jacobians for the radial coordinates on certain
superspaces. The resulting models contain two parameters determining the
strengths of the interactions. This extends and generalizes the models of the
Calogero--Moser--Sutherland type for interacting particles in ordinary spaces.
The latter ones are included in our models as special cases. Using results
which we obtained previously for spherical functions in superspaces, we obtain
various properties and some explicit forms for the solutions. We present
physical interpretations. Our models involve two kinds of interacting
particles. One of the models can be viewed as describing interacting electrons
in a lower and upper band of a one--dimensional semiconductor. Another model is
quasi--two--dimensional. Two kinds of particles are confined to two different
spatial directions, the interaction contains dipole--dipole or tensor forces.Comment: 21 pages, 4 figure
Survival Probability of a Doorway State in regular and chaotic environments
We calculate survival probability of a special state which couples randomly
to a regular or chaotic environment. The environment is modelled by a suitably
chosen random matrix ensemble. The exact results exhibit non--perturbative
features as revival of probability and non--ergodicity. The role of background
complexity and of coupling complexity is discussed as well.Comment: 19 pages 5 Figure
Derivation of determinantal structures for random matrix ensembles in a new way
There are several methods to treat ensembles of random matrices in symmetric
spaces, circular matrices, chiral matrices and others. Orthogonal polynomials
and the supersymmetry method are particular powerful techniques. Here, we
present a new approach to calculate averages over ratios of characteristic
polynomials. At first sight paradoxically, one can coin our approach
"supersymmetry without supersymmetry" because we use structures from
supersymmetry without actually mapping onto superspaces. We address two kinds
of integrals which cover a wide range of applications for random matrix
ensembles. For probability densities factorizing in the eigenvalues we find
determinantal structures in a unifying way. As a new application we derive an
expression for the k-point correlation function of an arbitrary rotation
invariant probability density over the Hermitian matrices in the presence of an
external field.Comment: 36 pages; 2 table
Arbitrary rotation invariant random matrix ensembles and supersymmetry: orthogonal and unitary-symplectic case
Recently, the supersymmetry method was extended from Gaussian ensembles to
arbitrary unitarily invariant matrix ensembles by generalizing the
Hubbard-Stratonovich transformation. Here, we complete this extension by
including arbitrary orthogonally and unitary-symplectically invariant matrix
ensembles. The results are equivalent to, but the approach is different from
the superbosonization formula. We express our results in a unifying way. We
also give explicit expressions for all one-point functions and discuss features
of the higher order correlations.Comment: 37 page
Critical Behavior of a General O(n)-symmetric Model of two n-Vector Fields in D=4-2 epsilon
The critical behaviour of the O(n)-symmetric model with two n-vector fields
is studied within the field-theoretical renormalization group approach in a
D=4-2 epsilon expansion. Depending on the coupling constants the
beta-functions, fixed points and critical exponents are calculated up to the
one- and two-loop order, resp. (eta in two- and three-loop order). Continuous
lines of fixed points and O(n)*O(2) invariant discrete solutions were found.
Apart from already known fixed points two new ones were found. One agrees in
one-loop order with a known fixed point, but differs from it in two-loop order.Comment: 23 page
Random-Matrix Theory of Quantum Transport
This is a comprehensive review of the random-matrix approach to the theory of
phase-coherent conduction in mesocopic systems. The theory is applied to a
variety of physical phenomena in quantum dots and disordered wires, including
universal conductance fluctuations, weak localization, Coulomb blockade,
sub-Poissonian shot noise, reflectionless tunneling into a superconductor, and
giant conductance oscillations in a Josephson junction.Comment: 85 pages including 52 figures, to be published in Rev.Mod.Phy
Recursive construction for a class of radial functions. II. Superspace
We extend the recursion formula for matrix Bessel functions, which we obtained previously, to superspace. It is sufficient to do this for the unitary orthosymplectic supergroup. By direct computations, we show that fairly explicit results can be obtained, at least up to dimension 8x8 for the supermatrices. Since we introduce a new technique, we discuss various of its aspects in some detail. (C) 2002 American Institute of Physics
