Distribution of Higher Order Spacing Ratios in Interacting Many Particle Systems

We study the distribution of non-overlapping spacing ratios of higher-orders for complex interacting many-body quantum systems, with and without spin degree of freedom (in addition to the particle number). The Hamiltonian of such systems is well represented by embedded one- plus two-body random matrix ensembles (with and without spin degree of freedom) for fermionic as well as bosonic systems. We obtain a very good correspondence between the numerical results and a recently proposed generalized Wigner surmise like scaling relation. These results confirm that the proposed scaling relation is universal in understanding spacing ratios in complex many-body quantum systems. Using spin ensembles, we demonstrate that the higher order spacing ratio distributions can also reveal quantitative information about the underlying symmetry structure.
