We analyze the amplitudes of one highly excited string (HES) state with two or three tachyons in open bosonic string theory. We argue that these processes are chaotic by showing that the spacing ratios of successive peaks in the angular dependence of the amplitudes are distributed as predicted by the $\beta$-ensemble of random matrix theory (RMT). We show how the continuous parameter $\beta$ depends on the level and helicity of the scattered HES state. We derive the scattering amplitude of an HES and three tachyons and show that it takes the form of the Veneziano amplitude times a dressing factor, and that the dressing is chaotic as a function of the scattering angle, in the sense that its spacing ratios match with RMT predictions.

  1. All DDF/lightcone two-particle decay widths up to level $8$ in open bosonic string in critical dimension

    hep-th 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Exhaustive lightcone computation shows open bosonic string states up to level 8 have decay widths within O(1) of each other, with all decays ultimately producing photons at the string scale.

  2. Random matrix theory signatures in free field theory

    hep-th 2025-07 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In finite-volume massive free scalar field theory after local quench, spacing ratios of two-point function extrema follow GOE statistics and an extrema-based form factor shows RMT dip-ramp-plateau.

  3. Higher-dimensional chaotic features and random matrix signatures following a local quench

    hep-th 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    Extrema of local-quench two-point functions in free 1+1 and 2+1 scalar theory show soft-to-GOE nearest-neighbor repulsion and geometry-dominated all-pair form factors.

  4. Multi-dimensional chaos II: String scattering amplitudes, curve repulsion, and RMT

    hep-th 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    String scattering amplitudes yield area eigenvalue spacings whose ratios match GOE (β=1) and GUE (β=2) ensembles, with an areas form factor displaying decline-ramp-plateau behavior.

  5. Photonic Exceptional Points in Holography and QCD

    hep-th 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A holographic toy model is constructed for third-order photonic exceptional points in ternary microrings, with numerical spectra, phase rigidity, and connections to the theta-vacuum of QCD via topological structures a...

    Peak positions in two-dimensional erratic scattering functions carry statistical repulsion signatures—COE for asymmetric pinball S-matrices, β-ensemble-like for the random-charge model—that can diagnose multi-dimensio...
