要旨:

We conjecture an upper bound on the energy dependence of the Lyapunov exponent for any classical/quantum Hamiltonian mechanics and quantum field theories. The conjecture states that the Lyapunov exponent as a function of the total energy grows no faster than linearly in the energy, in the high energy limit, under plausible physical conditions on the Hamiltonian. To the best of our knowledge this chaos energy bound is satisfied by any classically chaotic Hamiltonian system. We provide arguments supporting the conjecture for generic classically chaotic billiards and multi-particle systems. The existence of the chaos energy bound may put a fundamentalconstraint on physical systems and the universe.
