Energy Level Distribution of Perturbed Conformal Field Theories

Understand

We study the energy level spacing of perturbed conformal minimal models in finite volume, considering perturbations of such models that are massive but not necessarily integrable.

• We compute their spectrum using a renormalization group improved truncated conformal spectrum approach.
• With this method we are able to study systems where more than 40000 states are kept and where we determine the energies of the lowest several thousand eigenstates with high accuracy.
• We find, as expected, that the level spacing statistics of integrable perturbed minimal models are Poissonian while the statistics of non-integrable perturbations are GOE-like.
