Abstract:
We apply the singular value decomposition (SVD) method, based on normal-mode analysis, to decompose the spectra of finite random matrices of standard Gaussian ensembles in trend and fluctuation modes. We use the fact that the fluctuation modes are scale invariant and follow a power law, to characterize the transition between the extreme regular and chaotic cases. Thereby, we quantify the quantum chaos in systems described by random matrix theory in a direct way, without performing any previous unfolding procedure, and therefore, avoiding possible artifacts.
