Higher-order energy level spacing distributions in the transition region between regularity and chaos
نویسنده
چکیده
We study general energy level spacing distributions of Hamiltonian systems in the transition region between regularity and chaos. The well known Brody distribution, which results from a power-law ansatz for the level-repulsion function, describes the nearest-neighbour spectral spacings. We pursue an analogous ansatz to determine the level spacing distributions of the kth neighbours, which describe level correlations on longer ranges. The new formula is tested by way of example of the numerical spectra of two different classically chaotic Hamiltonian systems, namely the hydrogen atom in a magnetic field and the Hénon–Heiles system.

The influence of quantum field fluctuations on chaotic dynamics of Yang-Mills system II. The role of the centrifugal term
We have considered SU(2) ⊗ U(1) gauge field theory describing electroweak interactions. We have demonstrated that centrifugal term in model Hamiltonian increases the region of regular dynamics of Yang-Mills and Higgs fields system at low densities of energy. Also we have found analytically the approximate relation for critical density of energy of the order to chaos transition on centrifugal co...
متن کاملRandom matrix theory within superstatistics.
We propose a generalization of the random matrix theory following the basic prescription of the recently suggested concept of superstatistics. Spectral characteristics of systems with mixed regular-chaotic dynamics are expressed as weighted averages of the corresponding quantities in the standard theory assuming that the mean level spacing itself is a stochastic variable. We illustrate the meth...

The nearest neighbour level spacing distribution and the ∆3 statistics of level fluctuations associated with very high spin states (I >∼ 30) in rare-earth deformed nuclei are analysed by means of a cranked shell model. The many particle-many hole configurations created in the rotating Nilsson potential are mixed by the surface-delta two-body residual interaction. The levels in the near-yrast re...

We investigate the presence of quantum chaos in the spectrum of the bidimensional Fermi liquid by means of analytical and numerical methods. This model is integrable in a certain limit by bosonization of the Fermi surface. We study the effect on the level statisticsof the momentum cutoff Λ present in the bidimensional bosonization procedure. We first analyse the level spacing statistics in the ...
متن کاملQuantum Chaos in a Yang–Mills–Higgs System
We study the energy fluctuations of a spatially homogeneous SU(2) Yang– Mills–Higgs system. In particular, we analyze the nearest–neighbour spacing distribution which shows a Wigner–Poisson transition by increasing the value of the Higgs field in the vacuum. This transition is a clear quantum signature of the classical chaos–order transition of the system. To be published in Modern Physics Lett...
