Symmetry properties of the \(k\)-body embedded unitary Gaussian ensemble of random matrices (Q699044): Difference between revisions

The authors extend the recent study of the \(k\)-body embedded Gaussian ensemble [\textit{L. Benet, T. Rupp} and \textit{A. Weidenmüller}, Phys. Rev. Lett. 87, Paper 010601 (2001), and Ann. Phys. 292, 67-94 (2001; Zbl 1051.82507)]. They show that central results of the mentioned papers follow from the symmetry properties of the many-particle states and of the random \(k\)-body interaction. It is shown that for the embedded ensemble three symmetry groups are relevant. The authors show that the spectral representation of the matrix of second moments constructed explicitly in the papers quoted above can also be obtained from the symmetry arguments. To do this investigate the symmetry properties of that matrix. They isolate the \(U(N)\)-invariant part of the matrix of second moments, here \(U(N)\) denotes the symmetry group of the Gaussian unitary ensemble, i.e. the free Gaussian unitary ensemble of \(N\)-dimensions. The authors also investigate the invariance of the supersymmetric \(n\)-point generating functions of the ensemble under the unitary transformations of the interactions.
