Statistical mechanics of complex networks

TL;DR: In this paper, a simple model based on the power-law degree distribution of real networks was proposed, which was able to reproduce the power law degree distribution in real networks and to capture the evolution of networks, not just their static topology.

From quantum chaos and eigenstate thermalization to statistical mechanics and thermodynamics

TL;DR: The eigenstate thermalization hypothesis (ETH) as discussed by the authors is a natural extension of quantum chaos and random matrix theory (RMT) that allows one to describe thermalization in isolated chaotic systems without invoking the notion of an external bath.

Anderson Transitions

TL;DR: In this paper, the physics of Anderson transition between localized and metallic phases in disordered systems is reviewed, including both metal-insulator transitions and quantum-Hall-type transitions between phases with localized states.

Absence of Diffusion in Certain Random Lattices

TL;DR: In this article, a simple model for spin diffusion or conduction in the "impurity band" is presented, which involves transport in a lattice which is in some sense random, and in them diffusion is expected to take place via quantum jumps between localized sites.

Scaling Theory of Localization: Absence of Quantum Diffusion in Two Dimensions

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the conductance of disordered electronic systems depends on their length scale in a universal manner, and asymptotic forms for the scaling function were obtained for both two-dimensional and three-dimensional systems.

A planar diagram theory for strong interactions

TL;DR: In this article, it was shown that only planar diagrams with the quarks at the edges dominate; the topological structure of the perturbation series in 1/N is identical to that of the dual models, such that the number 1/n corresponds to the dual coupling constant.
