Level statistics and bifurcations for a Hamiltonian system — Marta Gutiérrez, •Andreas Koch, Matthias Brack, and Klaus Richter — Institut für Theoretische Physik, Universität Regensburg

We study the effect of bifurcations on the spectral form factor and rigidity of a Hamiltonian quantum system with mixed classical dynamics. The system possesses periodic librational orbits along the axes that undergo an infinite sequence of non-generic pitchfork bifurcations. We show that the signature of these bifurcations is two fold: beside the known effect of an enhanced periodic orbit contribution due to its stronger hbar dependence at the bifurcation, the orbits involved at the bifurcation give a non-diagonal contribution yielding deviations from universality.
