On the duality between periodic orbit statistics and quantum level statistics
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss consequences of a recent observation that the sequence of periodic orbits in a chaotic billiard behaves like a poissonian stochastic process on small scales. This enables the semiclassical form factor Ksc(τ) to agree with predictions of random matrix theories for other than infinitesimal τ in the semiclassical limit.

Orbit bifurcations and spectral statistics
Systems whose phase space is mixed have been conjectured to exhibit quantum spectral correlations that are, in the semiclassical limit, a combination of Poisson and randommatrix, with relative weightings determined by the corresponding measures of regular and chaotic orbits. We here identify an additional component in long-range spectral statistics, associated with periodic orbit bifurcations, ...
متن کاملSpectral statistics and periodic orbits
The main purpose of these lectures is to discuss briefly recent methods of calculation of statistical properties of quantum eigenvalues for chaotic systems based on semi-classical trace formulas. Under the assumption that periodic orbit actions are non-commensurable it is demonstrated by a few different methods that the spectral statistics of chaotic systems without time-reversal invariance in ...
متن کاملQuantum mechanical calculation of spectral statistics of a modified Kepler problem.
For a modified Kepler problem, we reexamine jumps in the saturation spectral rigidity and large oscillations of the level number variance with near zero minima. Earlier discrepancy between the periodic orbit theory and numerical calculation is cleared by a quantum mechanical calculation. A new class of radial periodic orbits is included establishing a complete correspondence between the periodi...
متن کاملPeriodic 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 .
متن کاملWave chaos in the elastic disk.
The relation between the elastic wave equation for plane, isotropic bodies and an underlying classical ray dynamics is investigated. We study, in particular, the eigenfrequencies of an elastic disk with free boundaries and their connection to periodic rays inside the circular domain. Even though the problem is separable, wave mixing between the shear and pressure component of the wave field at ...
