The spectral rigidity ⊿(L) of a set of quantal energy levels is the mean square deviation of the spectral staircase from the straight line that best fits it over a range ofLmean level spacings. In the semiclassical limit (ℏ→0), formulae are obtained giving ⊿(L) as a sum over classical periodic orbits. WhenL≪Lmax, whereLmax~ℏ-(N-1) for a system ofNfreedoms, ⊿(L) is shown to display the following universal behaviour as a result of properties of very long classical orbits: if the system is classically integrable (all periodic orbits filling tori), ⊿(L)═1/5L(as in an uncorrelated (Poisson) eigenvalue sequence); if the system is classically chaotic (all periodic orbits isolated and unstable) and has no symmetry, ⊿(L) ═ InL/2π2+Dif 1≪L≪Lmax(as in the gaussian unitary ensemble of random-matrix theory); if the system is chaotic and has time-reversal symmetry, ⊿(L) = InL/π2+Eif 1 ≪L≪Lmax(as in the gaussian orthogonal ensemble). WhenL≫Lmax, ⊿(L) saturates non-universally at a value, determined by short classical orbits, of order ℏ–(N–1)for integrable systems and In (ℏ-1) for chaotic systems. These results are obtained by using the periodic-orbit expansion for the spectral density, together with classical sum rules for the intensities of long orbits and a semiclassical sum rule restricting the manner in which their contributions interfere. For two examples ⊿(L) is studied in detail: the rectangular billiard (integrable), and the Riemann zeta function (assuming its zeros to be the eigenvalues of an unknown quantum system whose unknown classical limit is chaotic).
