Abstract
We show that the density of energy levels of a wide class of finite-dimensional quantum systems tends to a Gaussian distribution as the number of degrees of freedom increases. Our result is based on a variant of the central limit theorem which is especially suited to models whose partition function is explicitly known. In particular, we provide a theoretical explanation of the fact that the level density of several spin chains of Haldane-Shastry type is asymptotically Gaussian when the number of sites tends to infinity.

[27] For instance, in the case of the su m Haldane-Shastry chain, a relatively simple expression for the partition function is known [20], while there is no such expression for the spectrum (including its degeneracies). Indeed, for a fixed number of sites N, it is possible to compute the levels and their degeneracies using he so-called “motifs” [29] and their associated Young diagrams [30]; but to the best of our knowledge, no general formula expressing these quantities as a function of N is available.
