We consider the classical response in a chaotic system. In contrast to behavior in integrable or almost integrable systems, the nonlinear classical response in a chaotic system vanishes at long times. The response also reveals certain…
We establish eigenfunctions estimates, in the semi-classical regime, for critical energy levels associated to an isolated singularity. For Schr\"odinger operators, the asymptotic repartition of eigenvectors is the same as in the regular…
"Arithmetic random waves" are the Gaussian Laplace eigenfunctions on the two-dimensional torus (Rudnick and Wigman (2008), Krishnapur, Kurlberg and Wigman (2013)). In this paper we find that their nodal length converges to a non-universal…
The concept of structural invariance previously introduced by the authors is used to argue that the connection between random matrix theory and quantum systems with a chaotic classical counterpart is in fact largely exact in the…
Surface wave patterns are investigated experimentally in a system geometry that has become a paradigm of quantum chaos: the stadium billiard. Linear waves in bounded geometries for which classical ray trajectories are chaotic are known to…
We present a semiclassical explanation of the so-called Bohigas-Giannoni-Schmit conjecture which asserts universality of spectral fluctuations in chaotic dynamics. We work with a generating function whose semiclassical limit is determined…
We determine the asymptotic law for the fluctuations of the total number of critical points of random Gaussian spherical harmonics in the high degree limit. Our results have implications on the sophistication degree of an appropriate…
In quantum systems with large $n$ (radial quantum number) or large angular momentum the semiclassical (WKB) approximation is valid. A physical content of the semiclassical approximation is that the quantum fluctuations effects are…
We consider the spectrum of the evolution operator for bound chaotic systems by evaluating its trace. This trace is known to approach unity as $t \rightarrow \infty$ for bound systems. It is written as the Fourier transform of the…

We investigate the behavior of weak localization, conductance fluctuations, and shot noise of a chaotic scatterer in the semiclassical limit. Time resolved numerical results, obtained by truncating the time-evolution of a kicked quantum map…
A semiclassical approximation is derived by using a family of wavepackets to map arbitrary wavefunctions into phase space. If the Hamiltonian can be approximated as linear over each individual wavepacket, as often done when presenting…
An attempt is made to go beyond the standard semi-classical approximation for gravity in the Born-Oppenheimer decomposition of the wave-function in minisuperspace. New terms are included which correspond to quantum gravitational…
We discuss the statistics of tunnelling rates in the presence of chaotic classical dynamics. This applies to resonance widths in chaotic metastable wells and to tunnelling splittings in chaotic symmetric double wells. The theory is based on…
The wavefunctions in phase-space representation can be expressed as entire functions of their zeros if the phase space is compact. These zeros seem to hide a lot of relevant and explicit information about the underlying classical dynamics.…
We consider the properties of an observable (such as a single spin component that squares to the identity) when expressed as a matrix in the basis of energy eigenstates, and then truncated to a microcanonical slice of energies of varying…
The statistical theory of certain complex wave interference phenomena, like the statistical fluctuations of transmission and reflection of waves, is of considerable interest in many fields of physics. In this article we shall be mainly…
We consider the semiclassical asymptotic behaviour of the number of eigenvalues smaller than $E$ for elliptic operators in $L\sp 2 ({\bf R}\sp d)$. We describe a method of finding remainder estimates related to the volume of the region of…
Through numerical simulations of the Kuramoto equation, which displays high-dimensional dissipative chaos, we find a quantity representing the cost for maintenance of a spatially non-uniform structure that appears in the phase turbulence of…
The purpose of this note is to review some recent results concerning the pseudospectra and the eigenvalues asymptotics of non-selfadjoint semiclassical pseudo-differential operators subject to small random perturbations.
