Level compressibility in a critical random matrix ensemble: the second virial coefficient

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We study spectral statistics of a Gaussian unitary critical ensemble of almost diagonal Hermitian random matrices with off-diagonal entries <|Hij|2>simb2|i−j|−2 small compared to diagonal ones <|Hii|2>sim1. Using the recently suggested method of {it virial expansion} in the number of interacting energy levels (J.Phys.A {�f 36},8265 (2003)), we calculate a coefficient proptob2ll1 in the level compressibility chi(b). We demonstrate that only the leading terms in chi(b) coincide for this model and for an exactly solvable model suggested by Moshe, Neuberger and Shapiro (Phys.Rev.Lett. {�f 73}, 1497 (1994)), the sub-leading terms simb2 being different. Numerical data confirms our analytical calculation.
