Area of Science:

Statistical mechanics
Quantum chaos
Complex systems

Background:

Standard random matrix theory (RMT) is a cornerstone for understanding complex quantum systems.
Systems exhibiting mixed regular-chaotic dynamics present challenges for standard RMT.
Superstatistics offers a novel framework for generalizing statistical theories.

Purpose of the Study:

To generalize random matrix theory (RMT) by incorporating the superstatistics concept.
To develop a method for analyzing spectral characteristics of systems with mixed regular-chaotic dynamics.
To provide a theoretical framework for understanding transitions from order to chaos.

Main Methods:

Generalization of RMT using the superstatistics framework.
Treating the mean level spacing as a stochastic variable.
Calculating spectral characteristics like level density and spacing distributions.

Main Results:

Developed a generalized RMT incorporating superstatistics for mixed dynamics.
Calculated level density, nearest-neighbor-spacing distributions, and two-level correlation functions.
The derived spacing distribution aligns with resonance statistics from random binary networks.

Conclusions:

The proposed superstatistics-based RMT generalization effectively describes systems in transition to chaos.
This approach provides a powerful tool for analyzing spectral properties in complex systems.
The findings validate the applicability of superstatistics in quantum chaos and network resonance phenomena.
