Dyson's Brownian Motion and Universal Dynamics of Quantum Systems

We establish a correspondence between the evolution of the distribution of eigenvalues of a $N\times N$ matrix subject to a random Gaussian perturbing matrix, and a Fokker-Planck equation postulated by Dyson. Within this model, we prove the equivalence conjectured by Altshuler et al between the space-time correlations of the Sutherland-Calogero-Moser system in the thermodynamic limit and a set of two-variable correlations for disordered quantum systems calculated by them. Multiple variable correlation functions are, however, shown to be inequivalent for the two cases.Comment: 10 pages, revte

Random-Matrix Theory of Parametric Correlations in the Spectra of Disordered Metals and Chaotic Billiards

We study the response to an external perturbation of the energy levels of a disordered metallic particle, by means of the Brownian-motion model introduced by Dyson in the theory of random matrices, and reproduce the results of a recent microscopic theory of Altshuler, Simons, and Szafer. This establishes the validity of Dyson's basic assumption, that parametric correlations in the energy spectrum are dominated by level repulsion, and therefore solely dependent on the symmetry of the hamiltonian. ***Submitted to Physica A.****Comment: 24 pages, REVTeX-3.0, INLO-PUB-931028

Inequivalent quantization of the rational Calogero model with a Coulomb type interaction

We consider the inequivalent quantizations of a $N$-body rational Calogero model with a Coulomb type interaction. It is shown that for certain range of the coupling constants, this system admits a one-parameter family of self-adjoint extensions. We analyze both the bound and scattering state sectors and find novel solutions of this model. We also find the ladder operators for this system, with which the previously known solutions can be constructed.Comment: 15 pages, 3 figures, revtex4, typos corrected, to appear in EPJ
