Wavefunction Intensity Statistics from Unstable Periodic Orbits
arXiv:chao-dyn/9809012 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevLett.80.2582
Abstract
We examine the effect of short unstable periodic orbits on wavefunction statistics in a classically chaotic system, and find that the tail of the wavefunction intensity distribution in phase space is dominated by scarring associated with the least unstable periodic orbits. In an ensemble average over systems with classical orbits of different instabilities, a power law tail is found, in sharp contrast to the exponential prediction of random matrix theory. The calculations are compared with numerical data and quantitative agreement is obtained
