Random Matrix Theory approach to Mesoscopic Fluctuations of Heat Current

Statistical Mechanics 2015-06-15 v1

Abstract

We consider an ensemble of fully connected networks of N oscillators coupled harmonically with random springs and show, using Random Matrix Theory considerations, that both the average phonon heat current and its variance are scale-invariant and take universal values in the large N-limit. These anomalous mesoscopic uctuations is the hallmark of strong correlations between normal modes.
