Abstract
We study the level spacing statistics and eigenfunction properties in a billiard with a rough boundary. Quantum effects lead to localization of classical diffusion in the angular momentum space and the Shnirelman peak in at small . The ergodic regime with Wigner-Dyson statistics is identified as a function of roughness. Applications to spoiling in optical resonators are also discussed.
