Abstract

We describe the diagram analysis for the one-dimensional localization problem developed by Berezinskii in a simplified and modified form. Then we discuss the generalization to N coupled chains (a disordered wire). It is shown that all eigenstates are localized and that the localization length is approximately equal to NI2 (I2 scattering length for backward scattering at one chain).
