Theory of the Many-Body Localization Transition in One-Dimensional Systems

We formulate a theory of the many-body localization transition based on a novel real-space renormalization group (RG) approach. The results of this theory are corroborated and intuitively explained with a phenomenological effective description of the critical point and of the “badly conducting” stat...
