چکیده
We consider a tight-binding Hamiltonian deened on the quasiperi-odic Ammann-Beenker tiling. Although the density of states (DOS) is rather spiky, the integrated DOS (IDOS) is quite smooth and can be used to perform spectral unfolding. The eeect of unfolding on the integrated level-spacing distribution is investigated for various parts of the spectrum which show diierent behaviour of the DOS. For energy intervals with approximately constant DOS, we nd good agreement with the distribution of the Gaussian orthogonal random matrix ensemble (GOE) even without unfolding. For energy ranges with uctuating DOS, we observe deviations from the GOE result. After unfolding, we always recover the GOE distribution. In two recent papers 1, 2], we investigated the energy-level statistics of two-dimensional quasiperiodic Hamiltonians, concentrating on the case of the eight-fold Ammann-Beenker tiling 3] shown in Fig. 1. The Hamilto-nian contains solely constant hopping elements along the edges of the tiles in Fig. 1. Numerical results suggest that typical eigenstates of the model are multifractal 4]. In 1, 2], we numerically calculated the level-spacing distribution P(s) and the 3 and 2 statistics 5], and found perfect agreement with the results for the GOE. One ingredient of the calculation was the so-called unfolding procedure, explained below, which corrects for the uctuations in the DOS of the model Hamiltonian. It is well known that, for 1

Energy Levels of Quasiperiodic Hamiltonians, Spectral Unfolding, and Random Matrix Theory
We consider a tight-binding Hamiltonian defined on the quasiperiodic Ammann-Beenker tiling. Although the density of states (DOS) is rather spiky, the integrated DOS (IDOS) is quite smooth and can be used to perform spectral unfolding. The effect of unfolding on the integrated level-spacing distribution is investigated for various parts of the spectrum which show different behaviour of the DOS. ...
متن کاملHamiltonians on Discrete Structures: Jumps of the Integrated Density of States and Uniform Convergence
We study equivariant families of discrete Hamiltonians on amenable geometries and their integrated density of states (IDS). We prove that the eigenspace of a fixed energy is spanned by eigenfunctions with compact support. The size of a jump of the IDS is consequently given by the equivariant dimension of the subspace spanned by such eigenfunctions. From this we deduce uniform convergence (w.r.t...
متن کاملEffect of Unfolding on the Spectral Statistics of Adjacency Matrices of Complex Networks
Random matrix theory is finding an increasing number of applications in the context of information theory and communication systems, especially in studying the properties of complex networks. Such properties include short-term and long-term correlation. We study the spectral fluctuations of the adjacency of networks using random-matrix theory. We consider the influence of the spectral unfolding...
متن کاملLaw of addition in random matrix theory
We discuss the problem of adding random matrices, which enable us to study Hamiltonians consisting of a deterministic term plus a random term. Using a diagrammatic approach and introducing the concept of “gluon connectedness,” we calculate the density of energy levels for a wide class of probability distributions governing the random term, thus generalizing a result obtained recently by Brézin,...
