Phase-space correlations of chaotic eigenstates — •Holger Schanz — Max-Planck-Institut für Dynamik und Selbstorganisation und Fakultät für Physik, Universität Göttingen,*Bunsenstraße 10, D-37073 Göttingen, Germany

It is shown that the Husimi representations of chaotic eigenstates are strongly correlated along classical trajectories. These correlations extend across the whole system size and, unlike the corresponding eigenfunction correlations in configuration space, they persist in the semiclassical limit. A quantitative theory is developed on the basis of Gaussian wavepacket dynamics and random-matrix arguments. The role of symmetries is discussed for the example of time-reversal invariance.
