چکیده
It has been conjectured1,2 that an impurity with charge Z ≥ 2 can be localized due to its interaction with electrons in a metal. The simplest case is an impurity free to move between only two sites, which interacts locally with s-wave electrons. For Z ≥ 2 the hopping of the impurity is formally irrelevant and this has been argued to lead to localization. In this paper it is shown that other processes, in particular joint hopping of the impurity and one or more electrons between the sites, play an important role and have not been treated properly in the literature. Being relevant in a renormalization group sense, even when Z ≥ 2, these terms lead to delocalization of the impurity. Using bosonization, it is shown how these processes are generated from marginal operators that are usually neglected and the dangers of ignoring marginal or irrelevant operators are discussed in detail. Questions about implications for the more general situation of many sites to which the impurity can hop, are also considered. Typeset using REVTEX 1

We study the localization length of few interacting particles in a random potential. Concentrating on the case of three particles we show that their localization length is strongly enhanced comparing to the enhancement for two interacting particles.

A method is derived for calculating the pairing kernel in exchange mediated su-perconductors including matrix element effects. Various models for the interaction vertex are considered, including spin exchange, orbital exchange, and quadrupo-lar exchange. As an example, this formalism is applied to U P t 3 using relativistic wavefunctions from a local density band calculation.

We enlist various motivations underlying the idea that von Neumann collapses occure permanently, spontaneously and even universally. In addition to the conceptual value of permanent reduction theory, we mention its important by-product promoting new quantum Monte-Carlo simulations of irrevesible quantum processes, especially in laser optics.
