    Universality in Complex Networks: Random Matrix Analysis

    Get PDF
    We apply random matrix theory to complex networks. We show that nearest neighbor spacing distribution of the eigenvalues of the adjacency matrices of various model networks, namely scale-free, small-world and random networks follow universal Gaussian orthogonal ensemble statistics of random matrix theory. Secondly we show an analogy between the onset of small-world behavior, quantified by the structural properties of networks, and the transition from Poisson to Gaussian orthogonal ensemble statistics, quantified by Brody parameter characterizing a spectral property. We also present our analysis for a protein-protein interaction network in budding yeast.Comment: 4+ pages, 4 figures, to appear in PRE, major change in the paper including titl

    Statistical properties of spectral fluctuations for a quantum system with infinitely many components

    Full text link
    Extending the idea formulated in Makino {\it{et al}}[Phys.Rev.E {\bf{67}},066205], that is based on the Berry--Robnik approach [M.V. Berry and M. Robnik, J. Phys. A {\bf{17}}, 2413], we investigate the statistical properties of a two-point spectral correlation for a classically integrable quantum system. The eigenenergy sequence of this system is regarded as a superposition of infinitely many independent components in the semiclassical limit. We derive the level number variance (LNV) in the limit of infinitely many components and discuss its deviations from Poisson statistics. The slope of the limiting LNV is found to be larger than that of Poisson statistics when the individual components have a certain accumulation. This property agrees with the result from the semiclassical periodic-orbit theory that is applied to a system with degenerate torus actions[D. Biswas, M.Azam,and S.V.Lawande, Phys. Rev. A {\bf 43}, 5694].Comment: 6 figures, 10 page

    Limiting Laws of Linear Eigenvalue Statistics for Unitary Invariant Matrix Models

    Full text link
    We study the variance and the Laplace transform of the probability law of linear eigenvalue statistics of unitary invariant Matrix Models of n-dimentional Hermitian matrices as n tends to infinity. Assuming that the test function of statistics is smooth enough and using the asymptotic formulas by Deift et al for orthogonal polynomials with varying weights, we show first that if the support of the Density of States of the model consists of two or more intervals, then in the global regime the variance of statistics is a quasiperiodic function of n generically in the potential, determining the model. We show next that the exponent of the Laplace transform of the probability law is not in general 1/2variance, as it should be if the Central Limit Theorem would be valid, and we find the asymptotic form of the Laplace transform of the probability law in certain cases

    A simple topological model with continuous phase transition

    Full text link
    In the area of topological and geometric treatment of phase transitions and symmetry breaking in Hamiltonian systems, in a recent paper some general sufficient conditions for these phenomena in Z2\mathbb{Z}_2-symmetric systems (i.e. invariant under reflection of coordinates) have been found out. In this paper we present a simple topological model satisfying the above conditions hoping to enlighten the mechanism which causes this phenomenon in more general physical models. The symmetry breaking is testified by a continuous magnetization with a nonanalytic point in correspondence of a critical temperature which divides the broken symmetry phase from the unbroken one. A particularity with respect to the common pictures of a phase transition is that the nonanalyticity of the magnetization is not accompanied by a nonanalytic behavior of the free energy.Comment: 17 pages, 7 figure

    Level density and level-spacing distributions of random, self-adjoint, non-Hermitian matrices

    Full text link
    We investigate the level-density σ(x)\sigma(x) and level-spacing distribution p(s)p(s) of random matrices M=AFMM=AF\neq M^{\dagger} where FF is a (diagonal) inner-product and AA is a random, real symmetric or complex Hermitian matrix with independent entries drawn from a probability distribution q(x)q(x) with zero mean and finite higher moments. Although not Hermitian, the matrix MM is self-adjoint with respect to FF and thus has purely real eigenvalues. We find that the level density σF(x)\sigma_F(x) is independent of the underlying distribution q(x)q(x), is solely characterized by FF, and therefore generalizes Wigner's semicircle distribution σW(x)\sigma_W(x). We find that the level-spacing distributions p(s)p(s) are independent of q(x)q(x), are dependent upon the inner-product FF and whether AA is real or complex, and therefore generalize the Wigner's surmise for level spacing. Our results suggest FF-dependent generalizations of the well-known Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble (GOE) and Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) classes.Comment: 5 pages, 5 figures, revised tex

    Magnetic susceptibility of ultra-small superconductor grains

    Full text link
    For assemblies of superconductor nanograins, the magnetic response is analyzed as a function of both temperature and magnetic field. In order to describe the interaction energy of electron pairs for a huge number of many-particle states, involved in calculations, we develop a simple approximation, based on the Richardson solution for the reduced BCS Hamiltonian and applicable over a wide range of the grain sizes and interaction strengths at arbitrary distributions of single-electron energy levels in a grain. Our study is focused upon ultra-small grains, where both the mean value of the nearest-neighbor spacing of single-electron energy levels in a grain and variations of this spacing from grain to grain significantly exceed the superconducting gap in bulk samples of the same material. For these ultra-small superconductor grains, the overall profiles of the magnetic susceptibility as a function of magnetic field and temperature are demonstrated to be qualitatively different from those for normal grains. We show that the analyzed signatures of pairing correlations are sufficiently stable with respect to variations of the average value of the grain size and its dispersion over an assembly of nanograins. The presence of these signatures does not depend on a particular choice of statistics, obeyed by single-electron energy levels in grains.Comment: 40 pages, 12 figures, submitted to Phys. Rev.

    Distribution of interference in random quantum algorithms

    Get PDF
    We study the amount of interference in random quantum algorithms using a recently derived quantitative measure of interference. To this end we introduce two random circuit ensembles composed of random sequences of quantum gates from a universal set, mimicking quantum algorithms in the quantum circuit representation. We show numerically that these ensembles converge to the well--known circular unitary ensemble (CUE) for general complex quantum algorithms, and to the Haar orthogonal ensemble (HOE) for real quantum algorithms. We provide exact analytical formulas for the average and typical interference in the circular ensembles, and show that for sufficiently large numbers of qubits a random quantum algorithm uses with probability close to one an amount of interference approximately equal to the dimension of the Hilbert space. As a by-product, we offer a new way of efficiently constructing random operators from the Haar measures of CUE or HOE in a high dimensional Hilbert space using universal sets of quantum gates.Comment: 14 pages revtex, 11 eps figure

    Laminar Dispersion in Presence of Slip and Cbemical Reactions

    Get PDF
    Concentration profiles of a solute convectively diffusing and simultaneously undergoing homogeneous and heterogeneous chemical reactions under isothermal conditions in a non-Poisuelle laminar slip flow taking place in a closed parallel-plate channel with a permeable bed are presented. It is shown that presence of slip brings about an increase in concentration across the entire cross-section of the channel. Effect of varying reaction rate parameters on concentration profiles is also discussed
