The accurate knowledge of the nuclear level density is crucial for understanding the nuclear structure and for numerous applications including astrophysical reactions. In this review paper, we discuss the shell-model description of the nuclear level density, the use of the statistical moments method and underlying physics. The level density found with the moments method is shown to agree with the results of the exact diagonalization of the Hamiltonian matrix. The statistical approach is also compared to other standard methods for deriving level densities. The role of specific interaction matrix elements is reviewed in connection to the behavior of the level densities as these evolve. Chaotization and thermalization processes, collective enhancement and phase transitions are discussed with changing strengths of specific groups of two-body interaction matrix elements. The popular phenomenological constant temperature model is compared to the moments method and the effective temperature parameter of the model for different isotopes is discussed.

Starting from an appropriate decomposition of the level density into an average and fluctuating part, we studied the energy level fluctuations of an ensemble defined by two-body random Hamiltonians. A detailed analysis of several spectrally averaged fluctuation measures shows close agreement with the predictions of the Gaussian orthogonal ensemble (GOE). This confirms earlier indications that, except for noninteracting particles, fluctuation measures are insensitive to the rank of the interaction. Further, analysis of spectra obtained from realistic nuclear interactions agrees well with the GOE indicating that specific properties of the Hamiltonian have little or no influence on fluctuations. These results, therefore, strengthen our belief in the "universality" of GOE fluctuations.
