Perturbed quantum billiards on the hyperbolic plane

Matic Orel

We study the emergence of generic quantum chaos from an arithmetic billiard in the hyperbolic plane. Starting from an arithmetic triangle, we introduce small area-preserving geometric perturbations and compute long consecutive sequences of eigenvalues and eigenstates. The spectral statistics show a perturbation-dependent crossover from Poisson-like arithmetic behaviour to the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE), with the crossover scale moving to higher wavenumbers as the perturbation decreases. To characterize the nearest-neighbour spacing distribution, we compare the data with Brody and generalized-gamma fits. The generalized-gamma form is used only as a two-parameter diagnostic, allowing the small- and intermediate-spacing structure to vary independently from the large-spacing tail, rather than as a universal crossover law. For the weakest perturbation, we also compare the data with an effective block-GOE model, which diagnoses residual block-like structure deep into the computed spectral range. We complement the spectral analysis with Poincaré-Husimi representations of the eigenstates and quantify phase-space localization using an entropy-based measure. Its distribution is well described by Beta distributions whose width decays as a power law in the wavenumber. Before the spectral crossover, the localization statistics retain memory of the near-arithmetic regime. After the GOE regime is reached, the localization-fluctuation widths collapse onto a common decay law, sigma(Beta) ~ k^{-eta}, with eta approximately 0.37--0.38. These results provide a combined spectral and eigenfunction-level picture of the arithmetic-to-GOE crossover in hyperbolic quantum billiards.

Spectral statistics and localization properties of a $C_3$-symmetric billiard

Matic Orel, Marko Robnik

We revisit the spectral statistics of the C$_3$--symmetric billiard introduced by Dembowski [Phys. Rev. E, R4516 (2000)], which exhibits both GOE and GUE statistics depending on the symmetry block. Using high--precision Beyn's contour--integral method for the nonlinear Fredholm eigenvalue problem with built-in separation of irreducible subspaces, we compute 2.8x10$^5$ eigenvalues in each symmetry subspace, enabling statistically meaningful comparisons with random matrix theory. The improved spectra reveal clear GOE--GUE correspondence and resolve previously observed deviations in long--range spectral correlations. Furthermore, we analyze phase--space eigenstate localization through the distribution of entropy localization measures, which, for chaotic states follow a Beta distribution whose standard deviation decays as a power--law with energy, consistent with the onset of quantum ergodicity as described by Schnirelman's theorem.

Spectral statistics and localization properties of a C3C_3C3​-symmetric billiard
We revisit the spectral statistics of the C3_33​--symmetric billiard introduced by Dembowski [Phys. Rev. E, R4516 (2000)], which exhibits both GOE and GUE statistics depending on the symmetry block. Using high--precision Beyn's contour--integral method for the nonlinear Fredholm eigenvalue problem with built-in separation of irreducible subspaces, we compute 2.8x105^55 eigenvalues in each symmetry subspace, enabling statistically meaningful comparisons with random matrix theory. The improved spectra reveal clear GOE--GUE correspondence and resolve previously observed deviations in long--range spectral correlations. Furthermore, we analyze phase--space eigenstate localization through the distribution of entropy localization measures, which, for chaotic states follow a Beta distribution whose standard deviation decays as a power--law with energy, consistent with the onset of quantum ergodicity as described by Schnirelman's theorem.
