Critical correlations (Wegner, 1985; Chalker, Daniel, 1988; Chalker 1980)

Dynamical scaling hypothesis for generalized diffuson:
Q – momentum,  - DoS
The same scaling exponent is possible if phase correlations are noncritical

Almost diagonal critical PLBRMT from the GOE and GUE symmetry classes

We calculate
for this model
1) to check the hypothesis of dynamical scaling,
2) to study phase correlations in different regimes.

Leading term of VE: MF scaling
Regime of dynamical scaling:
Using the sum rule:
First conclusions
• We have found a signature of (strong) multifractality with the scaling exponent = d2 ;
• Dynamical scaling hypothesis has been confirmed for the generalized diffuson;
• Phases of wave-functions do not have critical correlations.
Leading term of VE: Lévy flights
Beyond regime of MF scaling:
- perturbative in
slow decay of correlations because of similar
(but not MF) correlations of amplitudes
and phases of (almost) localized states
Meaning of
- Lévi flights (due to long-range hopping)
(heavy tailed probability of long steps →
power-low tails in the probablity distribution of random walks)
Beyond leading term of VE: expected log-correcition
Regime of dynamical scaling:
due to dynamical scaling
Subleading terms of the VE are needed to check this guess
Beyond leading term of VE: expected log-correcition
Regime of Lévy flights:
correlated phases
→
uncorrelated phases
(WD-RMT)
due to decorrelated phases
Note: we expect that both exponents are renormalized with increasing b

Result 3-matrix approximation (GUE):

Phase correlations: crossover “strong-weak” MF regimes
Two different scenarios of the crossover/transition
Non-perturbative
(Kosterlizt-Thouless transition)
No long-range
correlations
Lévy flights exist only at b< bc
Perturbative
(smooth crossover)
Lévy flights exist at any finite b
Can we expect Lévy flights in short-ranged critical models?

- a precursor of the Lévy flights in AM
Guess: the Lévy flights may exist in both regimes (strong- and weakmultifractaity) and all (long-ranged and short-ranged) critical models.
Conclusions and further plans
• We have demonstrated validity of the dynamical scaling
hypothesis for the retarded propagator of the critical almost
diagonal RMT.
• Multifractal correlations and Lévy flights co-exist in the case of
critical RMT.
• We expect that the Lévy flights exist in regimes of strong- and
weak- multifractality in long- and short- ranged critical models.
• We plan to support our hypothesis by performing numerics at
intermediate- and -model calculations at large- band width.
