The prime numbers have attracted mathematicians and other researchers to study their interesting qualitative properties as it opens the door to some interesting questions to be answered. In this paper, the Random Matrix Theory (RMT) within superstatistics and the method of the Nearest Neighbor Spacing Distribution (NNSD) are used to investigate the statistical proprieties of the spacings between adjacent prime numbers. We used the inverse χ 2 distribution and the Brody distribution for investigating the regular-chaos mixed systems. The distributions are made up of sequences of prime numbers from one hundred to three hundred and fifty million prime numbers. The prime numbers are treated as eigenvalues of a quantum physical system. We found that the system of prime numbers may be considered regular-chaos mixed system and it becomes more regular as the value of the prime numbers largely increases with periodic behavior at logarithmic scale.

We present a possible extension of the random-matrix theory, which is widely used to describe spectral fluctuations of chaotic systems. By considering the Kaniadakis non-Gaussian statistics, characterized by the index κ (Boltzmann–Gibbs entropy is recovered in the limit κ → 0), we propose the non-Gaussian deformations (κ ≠ 0) of the conventional orthogonal and unitary ensembles of random matrices. The joint eigenvalue distributions for the κ-deformed ensembles are derived by applying the principle maximum entropy to Kaniadakis entropy. The resulting distribution functions are base invariant as they depend on the matrix elements in a trace form. Using these expressions, we introduce a new generalized form of the Wigner surmise valid for nearly-chaotic mixed systems, where a basis-independent description is still expected to hold. We motivate the necessity of such generalization by the need to describe the transition of the spacing distribution from chaos to order, at least in the initial stage. We show several examples about the use of the generalized Wigner surmise to the analysis of the results of a number of previous experiments and numerical experiments. Our results suggest the entropic index κ as a measure for deviation from the state of chaos. We also introduce a κ-deformed Porter–Thomas distribution of transition intensities, which fits the experimental data for mixed systems better than the commonly-used gamma-distribution.

Odlyzko has computed a dataset listing more than 10 9 successive Riemann zeros, starting from a zero number to beyond 10 23 . This dataset relates to random matrix theory as, according to the Montgomery–Odlyzko law, the statistical properties of the large Riemann zeros agree with the statistical properties of the eigenvalues of large random Hermitian matrices. Moreover, Keating and Snaith, and then Bogomolny and co-workers, have used N × N random unitary matrices to analyse deviations from this law. We contribute to this line of study in two ways. First, we point out that a natural process to apply to the dataset is to minimize it by deleting each member independently with some specified probability, and we proceed to compute empirical two-point correlation functions and nearest neighbour spacings in this setting. Second, we show how to characterize the order 1/ N 2 correction term to the spacing distribution for random unitary matrices in terms of a second-order differential equation with coefficients that are Painlevé transcendents, and where the thinning parameter appears only in the boundary condition. This equation can be solved numerically using a power series method. In comparison to the Riemann zero data accurate agreement is exhibited.

Random matrix theory (RMT) provides a successful model for quantum systems, whose classical counterpart has chaotic dynamics. It is based on two assumptions: (1) matrix-element independence, and (2) base invariance. The last decade witnessed several attempts to extend RMT to describe quantum systems with mixed regular-chaotic dynamics. Most of the proposed generalizations keep the first assumption and violate the second. Recently, several authors have presented other versions of the theory that keep base invariance at the expense of allowing correlations between matrix elements. This is achieved by starting from non-extensive entropies rather than the standard Shannon entropy, or by following the basic prescription of the recently suggested concept of superstatistics. The latter concept was introduced as a generalization of equilibrium thermodynamics to describe non-equilibrium systems by allowing the temperature to fluctuate. We here review the superstatistical generalizations of RMT and illustrate their value by calculating the nearest-neighbor-spacing distributions and comparing the results of calculation with experiments on billiards modeling systems in transition from order to chaos.

An overview of the history of random matrix theory (RMT) is provided in this chapter. Starting from its inception, the authors sketch the history of RMT until about 1990, focusing their attention on the first four decades of RMT. Later developments are partially covered. In the past 20 years RMT has experienced rapid development and has expanded into a number of areas of physics and mathematics.
