Spectral Statistics in Systems with a Mixed Phase Space — Arnd Bäcker^{1, 2}, •Steffen Löck¹, Normann Mertig^{1, 2}, and Torsten Rudolf¹ — ¹Technische Universität Dresden, Institut für Theoretische Physik, 01062 Dresden — ²MPI für Physik komplexer Systeme, 01187 Dresden

We study the consequences of flooding on spectral statistics in systems with a mixed phase space, in which regions of regular and chaotic motion coexist. With increasing density of states we observe a transition of the level-spacing distribution P(s) from Berry-Robnik to Wigner statistics, although the underlying classical phase space remains unchanged. In order to explain this transition we present a flooding improved Berry-Robnik distribution which accounts for the disappearance of regular states. Furthermore, we extend this prediction by explicitly considering the tunneling couplings between regular and chaotic states [1]. We show that this approach excellently reproduces the observed transition of the level-spacing distribution and additionally describes the power-law level repulsion at small spacings.
