Abstract
We investigate various statistics of energy levels of integrable quantum systems with Hamiltonians H=1/2(I-α on the unit torus, with α a parameter. We find strong numerical evidence, by using up to levels, that for typical α, with respect to uniform distribution in the unit square, the local empirical statistics of the levels =1/2(n-α, n∈, converge for large energies to a Poisson limit. The fluctuation of the total number of levels, E, scales like and its distribution converges to a non-Gaussian limit. The variance and skewness of this distribution can be computed analytically.
