In the limit as q->1 the well known Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) results are recovered. The relevant level spacing distribution is derived and one obtains a suitably generalized non-extensive Wigner distribution which depends on the value of the tunable non-extensivity parameter q. This non-extensive Wigner distribution can be seen to be a one-parameter level-spacing distribution that allows one to interpolate between chaotic and nearly integrable regimes.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2002-08-07T22:00:06.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantum chaos", "relevant level spacing distribution", "q-parameterized non-extensive statistics power-law distribution", "gaussian orthogonal", "suitably generalized non-extensive wigner distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2002cond.mat..8151E" } } }
