Eigenstates Ignoring Regular and Chaotic Phase-Space Structures

Year: 2002

Type: article

Abstract: We report the failure of the semiclassical eigenfunction hypothesis if regular classical transport coexists with chaotic dynamics. All eigenstates, instead of being restricted to either a regular island or the chaotic sea, ignore these classical phase-space structures. We argue that this is true even in the semiclassical limit for extended systems with transporting regular islands such as the standard map with accelerator modes.
