Taking into account the symmetries of finite approximants, we find that the underlying universal level-spacing distribution is given by the Gaussian orthogonal random matrix ensemble, and thus differs from the critical level-spacing distribution observed at the metal-insulator transition in the three-dimensional Anderson model of disorder. Our data allow us to see the difference to the Wigner surmise.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "1998-09-28T08:47:42.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random matrix theory", "quasiperiodic systems", "application", "gaussian orthogonal random matrix ensemble", "three-dimensional anderson model" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
