Two-level correlation function of critical random-matrix ensembles

Abstract

The two-level correlation function $R_{d,β}(s)$ of $d$-dimensional disordered models ($d=1$, 2, and 3) with long-range random-hopping amplitudes is investigated numerically at criticality. We focus on models with orthogonal ($β=1$) or unitary ($β=2$) symmetry in the strong ($b^d \ll 1$) coupling regime, where the parameter $b^{-d}$ plays the role of the coupling constant of the model. It is found that $R_{d,β}(s)$ is of the form $R_{d,β}(s)=1+δ(s)-F_β(s^β/b^{dβ})$, where $F_{1}(x)=\text{erfc}(a_{d,β} x)$ and $F_{2}(x)=\exp (-a_{d,β} x^2)$, with $a_{d,β}$ being a numerical coefficient depending on the dimensionality and the universality class. Finally, the level number variance and the spectral compressibility are also considerded.
