Quantum chaos on a critical Fermi surface

Abstract: We compute parameters characterizing many-body quantum chaos for a critical Fermi surface without quasiparticle excitations. We examine a theory of N species of fermions at non-zero density coupled to a U(1) gauge field in two spatial dimensions, and determine the Lyapunov rate and the butterfly velocity in an extended random-phase approximation. The thermal diffusivity is found to be universally related to these chaos parameters i.e. the relationship is independent of N, the gauge coupling constant, the Fermi velocity, the Fermi surface curvature, and high energy details.
