21 Conclusion Evaluated spin contribution of quantum graphs with random spin transformations. CSE or COE statistics depend on the repn of the group of spin transformations. Consistent with B-G-S conjecture if R(Γ) quaternionic irrep for half-integer spin, e.g. Γ = {±I, ±σ x, ±σ y, ±σ z }. J. Bolte and J. M. Harrison, J. Phys. A 36, L433 L440 (2003). arxiv nlin.cd/ J.
