Abstract

We present an analytical calculation of the local density of states correlation function $ \beta(\omega) $ in the Lévy-Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix ensemble at energy scales larger than the level spacing but smaller than the bandwidth. The only relevant energy scale in this limit is the typical level width $\Gamma_0$. We show that $\beta(\omega \ll \Gamma_0) \sim W/\Gamma_0$ (here $W$ is width of the band) whereas $\beta(\omega \gg \Gamma_0) \sim (W/\Gamma_0) (\omega/\Gamma_0)^{-\mu} $ where $\mu$ is an index characterising the distribution of the matrix elements. We also provide an expression for the average return probability at long times: $\ln [R(t\gg\Gamma_0^{-1})] \sim -(\Gamma_0 t)^{\mu/2}$. Numerical results based on the pool method and exact diagonalization are also provided and are in agreement with the analytical theory.
