* ABSTRACT | |||||||
In disordered materials conduction corresponds to spontaneous symmetry breaking and Anderson localization corresponds to the absence of SSB. The Mermin-Wagner theorem accounts for the fact that weakly disordered materials are localized in D = 1,2 dimensions and conduct otherwise. I describe a separate mechanism which is important whenever the disorder is not weak and is responsible for localization in D > 2 dimensions. \" |
