Abstract

Along the line of thoughts of Berry and Robnik{\cite{Ber}}, the limiting gap distribution function of classically integrable quantum systems is derived in the limit of infinitely many independent components. The limiting gap distribution function is characterized by a single monotonically increasing function μˉ(S)\bar{\mu}(S) of the level spacing SS, and the corresponding level spacing distribution is classified into three cases: (i) Poissonian if μˉ(+)=0\bar{\mu}(+\infty)=0, (ii) Poissonian for large SS, but possibly not for small SS if 0<μˉ(+)<10<\bar{\mu}(+\infty)< 1, and (iii) sub-Poissonian if μˉ(+)=1\bar{\mu}(+\infty)=1. This implies that even when the energy-level distributions of individual components are statistically independent, non-Poissonian level spacing distributions are possible.
