Abstract
We systematically study the first three terms in the asymptotic expansions of the moments of the transmission eigenvalues and proper delay times as the number of quantum channels n in the leads goes to infinity. The computations are based on the assumption that the Landauer-Büttiker scattering matrix for chaotic ballistic cavities can be modelled by the circular ensembles of random matrix theory. The starting points are the finite-n formulae that we recently discovered [F. Mezzadri and N. J. Simm, “Moments of the transmission eigenvalues, proper delay times and random matrix theory,” J. Math. Phys. 52, 103511 (2011)]10.1063/1.3644378. Our analysis includes all the symmetry classes β ∈ {1, 2, 4}; in addition, it applies to the transmission eigenvalues of Andreev billiards, whose symmetry classes were classified by Zirnbauer [“Riemannian symmetric superspaces and their origin in random-matrix theory,” J. Math. Phys. 37(10), 4986 (1996)]10.1063/1.531675 and Altland and Zirnbauer [“Random matrix theory of a chaotic Andreev quantum dot,” Phys. Rev. Lett. 76(18), 3420 (1996)10.1103/PhysRevLett.76.3420; Altland and Zirnbauer “Nonstandard symmetry classes in mesoscopic normal-superconducting hybrid structures,” Phys. Rev. B 55(2), 1142 (1997)]10.1103/PhysRevB.55.1142. Where applicable, our results are in complete agreement with the semiclassical theory of mesoscopic systems developed by Berkolaiko et al. [“Full counting statistics of chaotic cavities from classical action correlations,” J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 41(36), 365102 (2008)]10.1088/1751-8113/41/36/365102 and Berkolaiko and Kuipers [“Moments of the Wigner delay times,” J. Phys. A: Math. Theor. 43(3), 035101 (2010)10.1088/1751-8113/43/3/035101; Berkolaiko and Kuipers “Transport moments beyond the leading order,” New J. Phys. 13(6), 063020 (2011)]10.1088/1367-2630/13/6/063020. Our approach also applies to the Selberg-like integrals. We calculate the first two terms in their asymptotic expansion explicitly.
