Topological Spectral Correlations in 2D Disordered Systems

Abstract

It is shown that the tail in the two-level spectral correlation function R(s) for particles on 2D closed disordered surfaces is determined entirely by surface topology: $R(s)=-\chi /(6{\pi }^2\beta s^2)$, where $\beta$ = 1,2 or 4 for the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic ensembles, and $\chi$ = 2(1-p) is the Euler characteristics of the surface with p "handles" (holes). The result is valid for g << s << g^2 for $\beta$=1,4 and for g << s << g^3 for $\beta$=2, where g >> 1 is the dimensionless conductance.
