Abstract
Many-body localization transition is a peculiar dynamical transition
between ergodic and non-ergodic phases, which may occur at any
temperature and in any dimension. For temperatures below the transition
the system is nonergodic and localized, such that conductivity strictly
vanishes at the thermodynamic limit, while for temperatures above the
transition the system is thermal and conductive. In this talk I will
present a comprehensive study of the dynamical properties of the ergodic
phase in one and two dimensional generic disordered and interacting
systems, conducted using a combination of nonequilibrium diagrammatic
techniques and numerically exact methods. I will show that the ergodic
phase, which was expected to be diffusive, exhibits anomalous transport
regime for nontrivial times and explain how our findings settle with
phenomenological theoretical models.
