Coupled identical localized fermionic chains with quasi-random disorder


Abstract in English

We analyze the ground state localization properties of an array of identical interacting spinless fermionic chains with quasi-random disorder, using non-perturbative Renormalization Group methods. In the single or two chains case localization persists while for a larger number of chains a different qualitative behavior is generically expected, unless the many body interaction is vanishing. This is due to number theoretical properties of the frequency, similar to the ones assumed in KAM theory, and cancellations due to Pauli principle which in the single or two chains case imply that all the effective interactions are irrelevant; in contrast for a larger number of chains relevant effective interactions are present.
