dc.descriptionStarting with an operator in the universal enveloping algebra of a semi-simple, complex Lie group the nearest neighbor statistics of the spectra of this operator along a sequence of representations are discussed. After a short introduction in chapter 1 this problem is motivated by a general construction of the classical limit for quantum mechanical systems, which is adopted to this setting, in chapter 2. In chapter 3 it is shown that for simple operators, i.e., operators of the Lie algebra the nearest neighbor statistics along a sequence of irreducible representations converge to the Dirac measure. After a suitable completion of the universal enveloping algebra the convergence to Poisson statistics is proved in chapter 4 for the exponentials of generic operators. The proof makes use of a combinatorial inequality of the Katz-Sarnak type for tori, which is proved in chapter 5. In the appendix the necessary facts from group theory and the theory of nearest neighbor distributions are gathered.
