Semiclassical field theory approach to quantum chaos

Semiclassical Theory for Universality in Quantum Chaos with Symmetry Crossover

We address the quantum-classical correspondence for chaotic systems with a crossover between symmetry classes. We consider the energy level statistics of a classically chaotic system in a weak magnetic field. The generating function of spectral correlations is calculated by using the semiclassical periodic-orbit theory. An explicit calculation up to the second order, including the non-oscillato...

Semiclassical limit and quantum chaos

In this paper we present the field on which R. Rammal was working in the last moments of his life : quantum chaos. The behavior of various distributions is investigated numerically for different planar billiards in presence of a magnetic field or not. We find exponential laws for the distributions of the trajectory lengths, of the algebraic areas, and of the number of boundary reflections. Thes...

Towards chaos criterion in quantum field theory

Chaos criterion for quantum field theory is proposed. Its correspondence with classical chaos criterion in semi-classical regime is shown. It is demonstrated for real scalar field that proposed chaos criterion can be used to investigate stability of classical solutions of field equations. Phenomenon of chaos attracts much attention in various fields of physics. Originally it was associated with...

Semiclassical Approach to Relativistic Nuclear Mean Field Theory

Chaos and semiclassical limit in quantum cosmology.

In this paper we present a Friedmann-Robertson-Walker cosmological model conformally coupled to a massive scalar field where the WKB approximation fails to reproduce the exact solution to the Wheeler-DeWitt equation for large Universes. The breakdown of the WKB approximation follows the same pattern than in semiclassical physics of chaotic systems, and it is associated to the development of sma...
