Towards a Non-extensive Random Matrix Theory
Abstract
Description
In this article the statistical properties of symmetrical random matrices whose elements are drawn from a q-parametrized non-extensive statistics power-law distribution are investigated. In the limit as q->1 the well known Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE) results are recovered. The relevant level spacing distribution is derived and one obtains a suitably generalized nonextensive Wigner distribution which depends on the value of the tunable non-extensivity parameter q. This non-extensive Wigner distribution can be seen to be a one-parameter level-spacing distribution that allows one to interpolate between chaotic and nearly integrable regimes.
