摘要
We numerically study the level statistics of the Gaussian beta ensemble. These statistics generalize Wigner-Dyson level statistics from the discrete set of Dyson indices beta = 1, 2, 4 to the continuous range 0 < beta < infinity. The Gaussian beta ensemble covers Poissonian level statistics for beta -> 0, and provides a smooth interpolation between Poissonian and Wigner-Dyson level statistics. We establish the physical relevance of the level statistics of the Gaussian beta ensemble by showing near-perfect agreement with the level statistics of a paradigmatic model in studies on many-body localization over the entire crossover range from the thermal to the many-body localized phase. In addition, we show similar agreement for a related Hamiltonian with broken time-reversal symmetry.
