RT Journal Article T1 Spectral statistics of Hamiltonian matrices in tridiagonal form A1 Relaño Pérez, Armando A1 Molina, R. A. A1 Zuker, A. P. A1 Retamosa Granado, Joaquín AB When a matrix is reduced to Lanczos tridiagonal form, its matrix elements can be divided into an analytic smooth mean value and a fluctuating part. The next-neighbor spacing distribution P(s) and the spectral rigidity Delta _(3) are shown to be universal functions of the average value of the fluctuating part. It is explained why the behavior of these quantities suggested by random matrix theory is valid in far more general cases.
