| Research Abstract |
Multi-dimensionality of the systems radically influences tunnelling phenomena. In particular, if the system is classically non-integrable, complicated tunneling phenomenona, which are due to the presence of chaotic set and are called chaotic tunnelling, are observed. The fundamental mechanism of chaotic tunnelling is investigated by using classical dynamics extended to the fully complex domain, i.e. the complex semiclassical method.
(1) Tunnelling in the presence of chaos is investigated for a class of quantum map system. Extensive numerical studies reveal that the tunnelling trajectories dominantly contributing the dynamical tunnelling process form a very limited class of sets in the initial manifold, which is called "Laputa chains" from their characteristic shape. Mathematical significance of such a set is investigated applying the results of hormorphic dynamical theory to numerically clarified natures. The main results is that the closure of Laputa chain is bounded by two sets, namel

y, the Jula set J^+, and the filled-in Julia set K^+, from below and above, respectively. It is further conjectured that K^+=J^+. If this is the case, the closure of Laputa chain is nothing more than Julia set. The wavefunction tunnelling through the dynamical barrier is constructed along the real component of J^-. These facts means that the major trajectories tunnells being guided by the complexified stable manifolds of saddles dense in the chaotic sea, and are scatterd along their unstable manifold.
(2) Confining ourselves to a class of barrier tunnelling process, we elucidate how multi-dimensionality of the system results in a new universal mechanism causing complicated tunnelling phenomena peculiar to multi-dimensional barrier systems. First we showed that the complex semiclassical theory surely reproduces the purely quantum wave matrix even in the strong coupling regime, where the tunnelling component is accompanied by complicated fringes. Next, it is shown that the complexified trajectories guided by complexified stable and unstable manifolds are responsible for the fringed tunneling effect. Such a mechanism provides a new picture of tunnelling quite different from the classical instanton mechanism. Seen from a mathematical side, the mechanism is explained in terms of a divergent shift of movable singularities, which are the origins of the multivaluedness of complexified trajectories in one-dimensional tunnelling problem.
