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 classKeywords
