Abstract

The metal-to-insulator transition has reemerged as one of the major concerns of condensed matter science, due partly to the discovery of high temperature superconductivity in doped correlation induced insulators. A number of related quantum (T = 0) phenomena such as the superconductor-insulator and quantum Hall liquid-insulator transitions have been identified and explored. A considerable body of theoretical work also exists now. Some of this work and the questions it raises will be discussed here.
