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.

We consider a system of fermions with a quasi-random almost-Mathieu disorder interacting through a many-body short range potential. We establish exponential decay of the zero temperature correlations, indicating localization of the interacting ground state, for weak hopping and interaction and almost everywhere in the frequency and phase; this extends the analysis in cite{M} to chemical potentials outside spectral gaps. The proof is based on Renormalization Group and is inspired by techniques developed to deal with KAM Lindstedt series.
We simulate the dynamics of a disordered interacting spin chain subject to a quasi-periodic time-dependent drive, corresponding to a stroboscopic Fibonacci sequence of two distinct Hamiltonians. Exploiting the recursive drive structure, we can effici ently simulate exponentially long times. After an initial transient, the system exhibits a long-lived glassy regime characterized by a logarithmically slow growth of entanglement and decay of correlations analogous to the dynamics at the many-body delocalization transition. Ultimately, at long time-scales, which diverge exponentially for weak or rapid drives, the system thermalizes to infinite temperature. The slow relaxation enables metastable dynamical phases, exemplified by a time quasi-crystal in which spins exhibit persistent oscillations with a distinct quasi-periodic pattern from that of the drive. We show that in contrast with Floquet systems, a high-frequency expansion strictly breaks down above fourth order, and fails to produce an effective static Hamiltonian that would capture the pre-thermal glassy relaxation.
We consider heat transport in one-dimensional harmonic chains attached at its ends to Langevin heat baths. The harmonic chain has mass impurities where the separation $d$ between any two successive impurities is randomly distributed according to a po wer-law distribution $P(d)sim 1/d^{alpha+1}$, being $alpha>0$. In the regime where the first moment of the distribution is well defined ($1<alpha<2$) the thermal conductivity $kappa$ scales with the system size $N$ as $kappasim N^{(alpha-3)/alpha}$ for fixed boundary conditions, whereas for free boundary conditions $kappasim N^{(alpha-1)/alpha}$ if $Ngg1$. When $alpha=2$, the inverse localization length $lambda$ scales with the frequency $omega$ as $lambdasim omega^2 ln omega$ in the low frequency regime, due to the logarithmic correction, the size scaling law of the thermal conductivity acquires a non-closed form. When $alpha>2$, the thermal conductivity scales as in the uncorrelated disorder case. The situation $alpha<1$ is only analyzed numerically, where $lambda(omega)sim omega^{2-alpha}$ which leads to the following asymptotic thermal conductivity: $kappa sim N^{-(alpha+1)/(2-alpha)}$ for fixed boundary conditions and $kappa sim N^{(1-alpha)/(2-alpha)}$ for free boundary conditions.
Recently it was shown (I.A.Gruzberg, A. Klumper, W. Nuding and A. Sedrakyan, Phys.Rev.B 95, 125414 (2017)) that taking into account random positions of scattering nodes in the network model with $U(1)$ phase disorder yields a localization length expo nent $2.37 pm 0.011$ for plateau transitions in the integer quantum Hall effect. This is in striking agreement with the experimental value of $2.38 pm 0.06$. Randomness of the network was modeled by replacing standard scattering nodes of a regular network by pure tunneling resp.reflection with probability $p$ where the particular value $p=1/3$ was chosen. Here we investigate the role played by the strength of the geometric disorder, i.e. the value of $p$. We consider random networks with arbitrary probability $0 <p<1/2$ for extreme cases and show the presence of a line of critical points with varying localization length indices having a minimum located at $p=1/3$.
We consider heat transport in one-dimensional harmonic chains with isotopic disorder, focussing our attention mainly on how disorder correlations affect heat conduction. Our approach reveals that long-range correlations can change the number of low-f requency extended states. As a result, with a proper choice of correlations one can control how the conductivity $kappa$ scales with the chain length $N$. We present a detailed analysis of the role of specific long-range correlations for which a size-independent conductivity is exactly recovered in the case of fixed boundary conditions. As for free boundary conditions, we show that disorder correlations can lead to a conductivity scaling as $kappa sim N^{varepsilon}$, with the scaling exponent $varepsilon$ being arbitrarily small (although not strictly zero), so that normal conduction is almost recovered even in this case.
