Orthogonality Catastrophe in Parametric Random Matrices

Abstract

We study the orthogonality catastrophe due to a parametric change of the single-particle (mean field) Hamiltonian of an ergodic system. The Hamiltonian is modeled by a suitable random matrix ensemble. We show that the overlap between the original and the parametrically modified many-body ground states, $S$, taken as Slater determinants, decreases like $n^{-k{x}^2}$, where $n$ is the number of electrons in the systems, $k$ is a numerical constant of the order of one, and $x$ is the deformation measured in units of the typical distance between anticrossings. We show that the statistical fluctuations of $S$ are largely due to properties of the levels near the Fermi energy.
