Perturbation-Free Prediction of Resonance-Assisted Tunneling in Mixed Regular--Chaotic Systems

arXiv:1607.06477 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevE.94.062220

Abstract

For generic Hamiltonian systems we derive predictions for dynamical tunneling from regular to chaotic phase-space regions. In contrast to previous approaches, we account for the resonance-assisted enhancement of regular-to-chaotic tunneling in a non-perturbative way. This provides the foundation for future semiclassical complex-path evaluations of resonance-assisted regular-to-chaotic tunneling. Our approach is based on a new class of integrable approximations which mimic the regular phase-space region and its dominant nonlinear resonance chain in a mixed regular--chaotic system. We illustrate the method for the standard map.
