Nature of order from random two-body interactions

Abstract

We investigate the origin of order in the low-lying spectra of many-body systems with random two-body interactions. Our study based both on analytical as well as on numerical arguments shows that except for the most $J$-stretched states, the ground states in the higher $J$-sectors are more orderly and develop larger energy gaps than the ones in the J=0-sector. Due to different characteristic energy scales in different $J$-sectors the J=0 ground states may predominate only when all the states are taken together.
