Bivariate- distribution for transition matrix elements in Breit-Wigner to Gaussian domains of interacting particle systems.

Interacting many-particle systems with a mean-field one-body part plus a chaos generating random two-body interaction having strength lambda exhibit Poisson to Gaussian orthogonal ensemble and Breit-Wigner (BW) to Gaussian transitions in level fluctuations and strength functions with transition points marked by lambda = lambda c and lambda = lambda F, respectively; lambda F >> lambda c. For these systems a theory for the matrix elements of one-body transition operators is available, as valid in the Gaussian domain, with lambda > lambda F, in terms of orbital occupation numbers, level densities, and an integral involving a bivariate Gaussian in the initial and final energies. Here we show that, using a bivariate-t distribution, the theory extends below from the Gaussian regime to the BW regime up to lambda = lambda c. This is well tested in numerical calculations for 6 spinless fermions in 12 single-particle states.

Strength functions, entropies, and duality in weakly to strongly interacting fermionic systems.

We revisit statistical wave function properties of finite systems of interacting fermions in the light of strength functions and their participation ratio and information entropy. For weakly interacting fermions in a mean-field with random two-body interactions of increasing strength lambda, the strength functions F(k) (E) are well known to change, in the regime where level fluctuations follow Wigner's surmise, from Breit-Wigner to Gaussian form. We propose an ansatz for the function describing this transition which we use to investigate the participation ratio xi(2) and the information entropy S(info) during this crossover, thereby extending the known behavior valid in the Gaussian domain into much of the Breit-Wigner domain. Our method also allows us to derive the scaling law lambda(d) approximately 1/sqrt[m] ( m is number of fermions) for the duality point lambda= lambda(d), where F(k) (E), xi(2), and S(info) in both the weak ( lambda=0 ) and strong mixing ( lambda= infinity ) basis coincide. As an application, the ansatz function for strength functions is used in describing the Breit-Wigner to Gaussian transition seen in neutral atoms CeI to SmI with valence electrons changing from 4 to 8.

Single-particle entropy in (1+2)-body random matrix ensembles.

Random matrix ensembles defined by a mean-field one-body plus a chaos generating random two-body interaction (called embedded Gaussian orthogonal ensembles of (1+2)-body interactions[EGOE(1+2)]) predict for the entropy defined by the occupation numbers of single-particle states, in the chaotic domain, an essentially one parameter Gaussian form for their energy dependence. Numerical embedded ensemble calculations are compared with the theory. In addition, it is shown that the single-particle entropy, thermodynamic entropy defined by the state density and information entropy defined by wave functions in the mean-field basis for EGOE(1+2) describe the results known for interacting Fermi systems such as those obtained from nuclear shell model.

Group symmetries in two-body random matrix ensembles generating order out of complexity.

The two-body random matrix ensembles with spin TBRE-s and in a single j shell TBRE-j introduced recently in the context of ground state structures in complex interacting particle systems, possess U(N) superset U(N/2)multiply sign in circle SU(2) and U(N)superset O(3) group symmetries, respectively, with N the number of single particle states. It is shown that both these group symmetries give rise to simplicities in the ground state structures but in different ways.
