On the origin 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. Contrary to the common belief our study based both on analytical as well as on numerical arguments shows that these are the higher $J$-sectors whose ground states are more orderly than the ones in the J=0-sector. A predominance of J=0 ground states turns out to be the result of putting on together states with different characteristic energy scales from different $J$-sectors.
