Periodic orbits and semiclassical form factor in barrier billiards

الأصل · EN

Using heuristic arguments based on the trace formulas, we analytically calculate the semiclassical two-point correlation form factor for a family of rectangular billiards with a barrier of height irrational with respect to the side of the billiard and located at any rational position p/q from the side. To do this, we first obtain the asymptotic density of lengths for each family of periodic orbits by a Siegel-Veech formula. The result K(0)=1/2+1/q obtained for these pseudo-integrable, non-Veech billiards is different but not far from the value of 1/2 expected for semi-Poisson statistics and from values of K(0) obtained previously in the case of Veech billiards.
