| الوصف: | We propose a picture of Wigner function scars as a sequence of concentric rings along a twodimensional surface inside a periodic orbit. This is verified for a two-dimensional plane that contains a classical orbit of a Hamiltonian system with two degrees of freedom. The orbit is hyperbolic and the classical Hamiltonian is “softly chaotic ” at the energies considered. The stationary wave functions are the familiar mixture of scarred and random waves, but the spectral average of the Wigner functions in part of the plane is nearly that of a harmonic oscillator and individual states are also remarkably regular. These results are interpreted in terms of the semiclassical picture of chords and centres, which leads to a qualitative explanation of the interference effects that are manifest in the other region of the plane. The qualitative picture is robust with respect to a canonical transformation that bends the orbit plane. PACS numbers: 03.65.Sq, 05.45.+b Sixteen years have passed since Heller [1] detected scars of periodic orbit in individual eigenfunctions of chaotic systems. Explanations in terms of wave packets [1] or the semiclassical Green function [2,12] do predict an enhancement |
