Spectral Correlation and Response functions in Quantum Dots

Abstract

We derive a general relation between correlators of density of states fluctuations and density response functions. It applies equally to quantum chaotic systems of pure symmetry (unitary, orthogonal, and symplectic) as well as to the crossover region between the universality classes. This relation is much more robust than Wigner-Dyson statistics; its validity extends to disordered metals with finite conductance and even to the Anderson insulators with large localization length.
