Non-Poissonian level spacing statistics of classically integrable quantum systems based on the Berry-Robnik approach

Along the line of thoughts of Berry and Robnik\cite{[1]}, we investigated the gap distribution function of systems with infinitely many independent components, and discussed the level-spacing distribution of classically integrable quantum systems. The level spacing distribution is classified into three cases: Case 1: Poissonian if $\bar{\mu}(+\infty)=0$, Case 2: Poissonian for large $S$, but possibly not for small $S$ if $0<\bar{\mu}(+\infty)< 1$, and Case 3: sub-Poissonian if $\bar{\mu}(+\infty)=1$. Thus, even when the energy levels of individual components are statistically independent, non-Poisson level spacing distributions are possible.Comment: 5 pages, 0 figur

Long-Range Spectral Statistics of Classically Integrable Systems --Investigation along the Line of the Berry-Robnik Approach--

Extending the argument of Ref.\citen{[4]} to the long-range spectral statistics of classically integrable quantum systems, we examine the level number variance, spectral rigidity and two-level cluster function. These observables are obtained by applying the approach of Berry and Robnik\cite{[0]} and the mathematical framework of Pandey \cite{[2]} to systems with infinitely many components, and they are parameterized by a single function $\bar{c}$, where $\bar{c}=0$ corresponds to Poisson statistics, and $\bar{c}\not=0$ indicates deviations from Poisson statistics. This implies that even when the spectral components are statistically independent, non-Poissonian spectral statistics are possible.Comment: 13 pages, 4 figure

Hole Transport in p-Type ZnO

A two-band model involving the A- and B-valence bands was adopted to analyze the temperature dependent Hall effect measured on N-doped \textit{p}-type ZnO. The hole transport characteristics (mobilities, and effective Hall factor) are calculated using the ``relaxation time approximation'' as a function of temperature. It is shown that the lattice scattering by the acoustic deformation potential is dominant. In the calculation of the scattering rate for ionized impurity mechanism, the activation energy of 100 or 170 meV is used at different compensation ratios between donor and acceptor concentrations. The theoretical Hall mobility at acceptor concentration of $7 \times 10^{18}$ cm$^3$ is about 70 cm$^2$V$^{-1}$s$^{-1}$ with the activation energy of 100 meV and the compensation ratio of 0.8 at 300 K. We also found that the compensation ratios conspicuously affected the Hall mobilities.Comment: 5page, 5 figures, accepted for publication in Jpn. J. Appl. Phy

Long-Term Evolution of Massive Black Hole Binaries. II. Binary Evolution in Low-Density Galaxies

We use direct-summation N-body integrations to follow the evolution of binary black holes at the centers of galaxy models with large, constant-density cores. Particle numbers as large as 400K are considered. The results are compared with the predictions of loss-cone theory, under the assumption that the supply of stars to the binary is limited by the rate at which they can be scattered into the binary's influence sphere by gravitational encounters. The agreement between theory and simulation is quite good; in particular, we are able to quantitatively explain the observed dependence of binary hardening rate on N. We do not verify the recent claim of Chatterjee, Hernquist & Loeb (2003) that the hardening rate of the binary stabilizes when N exceeds a particular value, or that Brownian wandering of the binary has a significant effect on its evolution. When scaled to real galaxies, our results suggest that massive black hole binaries in gas-poor nuclei would be unlikely to reach gravitational-wave coalescence in a Hubble time.Comment: 13 pages, 8 figure

Evolution of Massive Blackhole Triples I -- Equal-mass binary-single systems

We present the result of $N$-body simulations of dynamical evolution of triple massive blackhole (BH) systems in galactic nuclei. We found that in most cases two of the three BHs merge through gravitational wave (GW) radiation in the timescale much shorter than the Hubble time, before ejecting one BH through a slingshot. In order for a binary BH to merge before ejecting out the third one, it has to become highly eccentric since the gravitational wave timescale would be much longer than the Hubble time unless the eccentricity is very high. We found that two mechanisms drive the increase of the eccentricity of the binary. One is the strong binary-single BH interaction resulting in the thermalization of the eccentricity. The second is the Kozai mechanism which drives the cyclic change of the inclination and eccentricity of the inner binary of a stable hierarchical triple system. Our result implies that many of supermassive blackholes are binaries.Comment: 20 pages, 12 figure

Deviations from Berry--Robnik Distribution Caused by Spectral Accumulation

By extending the Berry--Robnik approach for the nearly integrable quantum systems,\cite{[1]} we propose one possible scenario of the energy level spacing distribution that deviates from the Berry--Robnik distribution. The result described in this paper implies that deviations from the Berry--Robnik distribution would arise when energy level components show strong accumulation, and otherwise, the level spacing distribution agrees with the Berry--Robnik distribution.Comment: 4 page
