Typical medium theory of Anderson localization: A local order parameter approach to strong disorder effects

arXiv:cond-mat/0106282 · doi:10.1209/epl/i2003-00364-5

Abstract

We present a self-consistent theory of Anderson localization that yields a simple algorithm to obtain \emph{typical local density of states} as an order parameter, thereby reproducing the essential features of a phase-diagram of localization-delocalization quantum phase transition in the standard lattice models of disordered electron problem. Due to the local character of our theory, it can easily be combined with dynamical mean-field approaches to strongly correlated electrons, thus opening an attractive avenue for a genuine {\em non-perturbative} treatment of the interplay of strong interactions and strong disorder.
