Abstract

Considering the fluctuations of spectral functions, we prove that if chaotic systems fulfill the Bohigas-Gianonni-Schmit (BGS) conjecture, which relates their spectral statistics to that of random matrices, therefore by virtue of Gutzwiller trace formula, the instability of classical periodic orbits is constrained. In particular for two-dimensional chaotic systems, the Lyapunov exponent λp\lambda_p of each periodic orbit pp should be bigger than a minimum value λmin0.850738\lambda_{\text{min}} \geq 0.850738. This opens the possibility of new constraints for a system to be fully chaotic, or the failure of the BGS conjecture.
