Addendum: Level spacings for integrable quantum maps in genus zero

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this addendum we strengthen the results of math-ph/0002010 in the case of polynomial phases. We prove that Cesaro means of the pair correlation functions of certain integrable quantum maps on the 2-sphere at level N tend almost always to the Poisson (uniform limit). The quantum maps are exponentials of Hamiltonians which have the form a p(I) + b I, where I is the action, where p is a polynomial and where a,b are two real numbers. We prove that for any such family and for almost all a,b, the pair correlation tends to Poisson on average in N. The results involve Weyl estimates on exponential sums and new metric results on continued fractions. They were motivated by a comparison of the results of math-ph/0002010 with some independent results on pair correlation of fractional parts of polynomials by Rudnick-Sarnak.


The author generalizes his previously obtained result for pair correlation functions of completely integrable quantum maps where he proved convergence to a Poisson process when the number of eigenvalues increase [ibid. 196, 289-318 (1998; 949.37040)]. In this paper the result is strengthened to almost everywhere convergence to a Poisson process along the entire sequence of Planck constants. This result is applied not to the individual pair correlation function but to the average.
