Characterizing Localized States

Abstract:

The Anderson model of localization continues to attract much attention, and the role of disorder in the metal insulator transition is still a matter of debate.  In this talk, I will review the result of Anderson for localization in disordered models, and then discuss the role of "rare" fluctuation events.  I will then talk about the parameters that have been proposed to characterize these localized states and the numerical results that have been obtained.
