The GOE ensemble for quasiperiodic tilings without unfolding: r-value statistics — •Rudolf A. Römer1 and Uwe Grimm2 — 1University of Warwick, Coventry, UK — 2Open University, Milton Keynes, UK
We study the level-spacing statistics for non-interacting Hamiltonians defined on the two-dimensional quasiperiodic Ammann–Beenker (AB) tiling. When applying the numerical procedure of “unfolding”, these spectral properties in each irreducible sector are known to be well-described by the universal Gaussian orthogonal random matrix ensemble. However, the validity and numerical stability of the unfolding procedure has occasionally been questioned due to the fractal self-similarity in the density of states for such quasiperiodic systems. Here, using the so-called r-value statistics for random matrices, P(r), for which no unfolding is needed, we show that the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble again emerges as the most convincing level statistics for each irreducible sector [1]. The results are extended to random-AB tilings where random flips of vertex connections lead to the irreducibility.
