Statistics of noninteracting many-body fermionic states: The question of a many-body mobility edge
arXiv:2306.11692 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevB.109.174214
Abstract
In this work, we study the statistics of a generic noninteracting many-body fermionic system whose single-particle counterpart has a single-particle mobility edge (SPME). We first prove that the spectrum and the extensive conserved quantities follow the multivariate normal distribution with a vanishing standard deviation in the thermodynamic limit, regardless of SPME. Consequently, the theorem rules out an infinite-temperature or high-temperature many-body mobility edge (MBME) for generic noninteracting fermionic systems. Further, we also prove that the spectrum of a fermionic many-body system with short-range interactions is qualitatively similar to that of a noninteracting many-body system up to the third-order moment. These results partially explain why neither short-range [1] nor long-range interacting systems exhibit an infinite-temperature MBME.
