R. Melin, LEVEL SPACING STATISTICS OF BIDIMENSIONAL FERMI LIQUIDS .2. LANDAU FIXED-POINT AND QUANTUM CHAOS, Journal de physique. I, 5(7), 1995, pp. 787-804
We investigate the presence of quantum chaos in the spectrum of the bi
dimensional Fermi liquid by means of analytical and numerical methods.
This model is integrable in a certain limit by bosonization of the Fe
rmi surface. We study the effect on the level statistics of the moment
um cut-off lambda present in the bidimensional bosonization procedure.
We first analyse the level spacing statistics in the lambda-restricte
d Hilbert space in one dimension. With g(2) and g(4) interactions, the
level statistics are found to be Poissonian at low energies, and G.O.
E. at higher energies, for a given cut-off lambda. In order to study t
his cross-over, a finite temperature is introduced as a way of focussi
ng, for a large inverse temperature beta, on the low energy many-body
states, and driving the statistics from G.O.E. to Poissonian. As far a
s two dimensions are concerned, we diagonalize the Fermi liquid Hamilt
onian with a small number of orbitals. The level spacing statistics ar
e found to be Poissonian in the lambda-restricted Hilbert space, provi
ded the diagonal elements are of the same order of magnitude as the of
f-diagonal matrix elements of the Hamiltonian.
