The discussion starts with a historical introduction followed by an explanation of the idea of using Grassmann anticommuting variables for investigating disordered metals. After that the nonlinear supermatrix $\\sigma$-model is derived. Solution of several problems obtained with the help of the $\\sigma$-model is presented. This includes the problem of the level statistics in small metal grains, localization in wires and films, and Anderson metal-insulator transition. Calculational schemes developed for studying these problems form the basis of subsequent applications of the supersymmetry approach.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2010-02-12T20:39:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "anderson localization", "anderson metal-insulator transition", "small metal grains", "supersymmetry approach", "grassmann anticommuting variables" ], "tags": [ "book chapter", "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "International Journal of Modern Physics B", "year": 2010, "volume": 24, "number": "12-13", "pages": 1756 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "inspire": 845872, "adsabs": "2010IJMPB..24.1756E" } } }
