Periodic-orbit theory of universality in quantum chaos

Semiclassical Theory for Universality in Quantum Chaos with Symmetry Crossover

We address the quantum-classical correspondence for chaotic systems with a crossover between symmetry classes. We consider the energy level statistics of a classically chaotic system in a weak magnetic field. The generating function of spectral correlations is calculated by using the semiclassical periodic-orbit theory. An explicit calculation up to the second order, including the non-oscillato...

Periodic Orbit Theory and Spectral Statistics for Quantum Graphs

Periodic orbit theory and spectral statistics for scaling quantum graphs

The explicit solution to the spectral problem of quantum graphs found recently in [20], is used to produce the exact periodic orbit theory description for the probability distributions of spectral statistics, including the distribution for the nearest neighbor separations, s n = k n − k n−1 , and the distribution of the spectral oscillations around the average, δk n = k n − ¯ k n .

Beyond the periodic orbit theory

The global constraints on chaotic dynamics induced by the analyticity of smooth flows are used to dispense with individual periodic orbits and derive infinite families of exact sum rules for several simple dynamical systems. The associated Fredholm determinants are of particularly simple polynomial form. The theory developed suggests an alternative to the conventional periodic orbit theory appr...
