title: Tunneling effect and the natural boundary of invariant tori.
abstract: The invariant torus of nonintegrable systems breaks up in complexified phase space. The breaking border is expected to form a natural boundary (NB) along which singularities are densely condensed. The NB cuts off the instanton orbit controlling the tunneling transport from a quantized invariant torus, which might result in a serious effect on the tunneling process. In the present Letter, we provide clear evidence showing that the presence of the NB is observable as an anomalous enhancement of the tunneling wave amplitude in the immediate outer side of the NB.
