Level statistics of systems with infinitely many independent components based on the Berry-Robnik approach

Abstract

Along the line of thoughts of Berry and Robnik{\cite{Ber}}, the limiting gap distribution function of classically integrable quantum systems is derived in the limit of infinitely many independent components. The limiting gap distribution function is characterized by a single monotonically increasing function $\barμ(S)$ of the level spacing $S$, and the corresponding level spacing distribution is classified into three cases: (i) Poissonian if $\barμ(+\infty)=0$, (ii) Poissonian for large $S$, but possibly not for small $S$ if $0<\barμ(+\infty)< 1$, and (iii) sub-Poissonian if $\barμ(+\infty)=1$. This implies that even when the energy-level distributions of individual components are statistically independent, non-Poissonian level spacing distributions are possible.
