Many-body spectral statistics of interacting Fermions
Abstract
We have studied the appearance of chaos in the many-body spectrum of interacting Fermions. The coupling of a single state to the Fermi sea is considered. This state is coupled to a hierarchy of states corresponding to one or several particle-hole excitations. We have considered various couplings between two successive generations of this hierarchy and determined under which conditions this coupling can lead to Wigner-Dyson correlations. We have found that the cross-over from a Poisson to a Wigner distribution is characterized not only by the ratio $V/Δ_c$, but also by the ratio $Δ_c/δ$. $V$ is the typical interaction matrix element, $δ$ is the energy distance between {\it many-body} states and $Δ_c$ is the distance between many-body states coupled by the interaction.
