Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 154101 (2002) [4 pages]Eigenstates Ignoring Regular and Chaotic Phase-Space StructuresReceived 26 April 2002; published 18 September 2002 We report the failure of the semiclassical eigenfunction hypothesis if regular classical transport coexists with chaotic dynamics. All eigenstates, instead of being restricted to either a regular island or the chaotic sea, ignore these classical phase-space structures. We argue that this is true even in the semiclassical limit for extended systems with transporting regular islands such as the standard map with accelerator modes. © 2002 The American Physical Society URL:
