We study the influence of many-particle interactions on a metal-insulator transition. First, we consider the two interacting particle problem for onsite interacting particles on a one-dimensional quasi-periodic chain, the so-called Aubry-Andre model. We show numerically by the decimation method and finite-size scaling that the interaction does not modify the critical parameters such as the transition point and the localization length exponent. Second, we employ the density matrix renormalization scheme to investigate the finite density situation. We map out the entire phase diagram and find that there is a Peierls-like transition into a metallic state for attractive interactions. Our results also show agreement with a recent analytic renormalization group approach.
