X Abstract

We show that finite Fermi systems governed by a mean field and a few-body interaction generically possess spectral fluctuations of the Wigner-Dyson type and are thus chaotic. Our proof is based on an analogy to the metal-insulator transition. We construct a sparse random-matrix ensemble $H^ cr$ that mimicks that transition. Our claim then follows from the fact that the generic random-matrix ensemble modeling a fermionic interacting many-body is much less sparse than $H^ cr$.
