Review text

Regular features of nuclear spectra, including pairing, rotational, and vibrational excitations, are routinely described as resulting from the coherent part of nucleon-nucleon interactions. However recent simulations have demonstrated that such features arise even for a many-body system with random interactions represented by simple statistical ensembles of parameters. We study shell model type systems with random interactions and show the interplay of various factors at work: the mean field, fermion statistics, bose-like statistics of fermion pairs, geometric chaoticity of randomly coupled individual angular momenta, and self-averaged residual interactions, all in a many-body system with chaotic dynamics.
