Level-spacing distributions beyond the Wigner surmise

  • Published:
Zeitschrift für Physik B Condensed Matter

Abstract

We introduce a dynamical system, for which it is possible to get such a large number of eigenvalues that deviations from Wigner's surmise are visible. The obtained level-spacing distribution agrees much better with the distribution derived from random matrix theory.

  8. TheN eigenvalues of the Floquet operator considered as functions of the kick strengthk are oscillating with a frequency proportional toj 3/2. Therefore, for a value of the angular momentumj=500 there are about 100 oscillations in ak interval of size 0.01. The spectra of the Floquet operator for values ofk differing by 0.01 can be considered as statistically independent
