Given a Dirichlet eigenfunction of a 2D quantum billiard, the boundary domain count is the number of intersections of the nodal lines with the boundary. We study the integer sequence defined by these numbers, sorted according to the…
The compatibility of the semiclassical quantization of area-preserving maps with some exact identities which follow from the unitarity of the quantum evolution operator is discussed. The quantum identities involve relations between traces…

We present a comprehensive semiclassical investigation of the three-dimensional Sinai billiard, addressing a few outstanding problems in "quantum chaos". We were mainly concerned with the accuracy of the semiclassical trace formula in two…
The semiclassical description of billiard spectra is extended to include the diffractive contributions from orbits which are nearly tangent to a concave part of the boundary. The leading correction for an unstable isolated orbit is of the…
A comparison of classical and quantum evolution usually involves a quasi-probability distribution as a quantum analogue of the classical phase space distribution. In an alternate approach that we adopt here, the classical density is…
We apply a recently developed semiclassical theory of short peridic orbits to the stadium billiard. We give explicit expresions for the resonances of periodic orbits and for the application of the semiclassical Hamiltonian operator to them.…
We apply periodic orbit theory to a two-dimensional non-integrable billiard system whose boundary is varied smoothly from a circular to an equilateral triangular shape. Although the classical dynamics becomes chaotic with increasing…

The classification of universality classes of random-matrix theory has recently been extended beyond the Wigner-Dyson ensembles. Several of the novel ensembles can be discussed naturally in the context of superconducting-normal hybrid…
The arbitrary trajectory quantization method (ATQM) is a time dependent approach to quasiclassical quantization based on the approximate dual relationship that exists between the quantum energy spectra and classical periodic orbits. It has…
The eigenvalues of the Hyperspherical billiard are calculated in the semiclassical approximation. The eigenvalues where this approximation fails are identified and found to be related to caustics that approach the wall of the billiard. The…
