How long is the chaotic boundary of a billiard? — Arnd Bäcker1,3, Roland Ketzmerick1,3, •Steffen Löck1, and Holger Schanz2,3 — 1Institut für Theoretische Physik, Technische Universität Dresden, 01062 Dresden — 2Institut für Maschinenbau, Hochschule Magdeburg-Stendal, 39114 Magdeburg — 3MPI für Physik komplexer Systeme, 01187 Dresden
For two-dimensional quantum billiards we derive a partial Weyl law, i.e. the average density of states for a subset of eigenstates concentrating on an invariant region Γ of phase space. The leading term is proportional to the area of the billiard times the phase-space fraction of Γ. The boundary term is proportional to the fraction of the boundary where parallel trajectories belong to Γ. Agreement with numerical data will be presented for the mushroom and the cosine billiard, where we determine the boundary lengths associated with chaotic and regular states, and for the elliptical billiard, where we consider rotating and oscillating states.
