Abstract

For a bounded planar domain Ω0\Omega^0 whose boundary contains a number of flat pieces Γi\Gamma_i we consider a family of non-symmetric billiards Ω\Omega constructed by patching several copies of Ω0\Omega^0 along Γi\Gamma_i's. It is demonstrated that the length spectrum of the periodic orbits in Ω\Omega is degenerate with the multiplicities determined by a matrix group GG. We study the energy spectrum of the corresponding quantum billiard problem in Ω\Omega and show that it can be split in a number of uncorrelated subspectra corresponding to a set of irreducible representations α\alpha of GG. Assuming that the classical dynamics in Ω0\Omega^0 are chaotic, we derive a semiclassical trace formula for each spectral component and show that their energy level statistics are the same as in standard Random Matrix ensembles. Depending on whether α{\alpha} is real, pseudo-real or complex, the spectrum has either Gaussian Orthogonal, Gaussian Symplectic or Gaussian Unitary types of statistics, respectively.
