Abstract
The level-spacing distribution is studied under the random-matrix hypothesis. Rigorous lower and upper bounds for the distribution function of the level-spacing are given. Comparison of these with Wigner's surmise shows that it is very good approximation. It is shown, however, that it cannot be exact even in the limiting case n → ∞.Keywords
