Abstract

We present numerical investigations demonstrating the result that the distribution of the lowest eigenvalue of finite many-boson systems (say we have mm number of bosons) with kk-body interactions, modeled by Bosonic Embedded Gaussian Orthogonal [BEGOE(kk)] and Unitary [BEGUE(kk)] random matrix Ensembles of kk-body interactions, exhibits a smooth transition from Gaussian like (for k=1k = 1) to a modified Gumbel like (for intermediate values of kk) to the well-known Tracy-Widom distribution (for k=mk = m) form. We also provide ansatz for centroids and variances of the lowest eigenvalue distributions. In addition, we show that the distribution of normalized spacing between the lowest and the next lowest eigenvalues exhibits a transition from Wigner's surmise (for k=1k = 1) to Poisson (for intermediate kk values with km/2k \le m/2) to Wigner's surmise (starting from k=m/2k = m/2 to k=mk = m) form. We analyze these transitions as a function of qq parameter defining qq-normal distribution for eigenvalue densities.
