Abstract: Many-body quantum chaos, topological defects, and an emergent PT transition

Spectral and eigenstate correlations provide simple, universal diagnostics of quantum chaos and localization in many-body systems. I will discuss how topological defects enrich these diagnostics, revealing a new structure in strongly-interacting quantum many-body systems: an emergent single-particle PT symmetry breaking transition arising from generic many-body quantum chaos.
