Theory of Point Processes and Some Basic Notions in Energy Level Statistics
(125K, LaTeX 2e)

ABSTRACT.  Although it is not explicitly stated in physics literature, energy 
level statistics is based upon the hypothesis that the spectrum of a 
quantum Hamiltonian, after suitably normalized (unfolded), and 
observed in thermodynamic or semiclassical limit, looks like a typical 
realization of a stationary point process. In this survey article, 
we present a purely phenomenological view of energy level statistics 
based on the theory of point processes.
