Symmetries and parametrization of the transfer matrix in electronic quantum transport theory

Abstract
We analyze for the orthogonal, unitary and symplectic cases the structure of the space where the multiplicative transfer matrix M of a multi-channel elastic scatterer is defined. We parametrize this space with a set of radial parameters, which are related in a simple way to the conductance of the elastic scatterer, and with two auxiliary unitary matrices, whose structure depends on the universality class
