Abstract

Motivated by the problem of Many-Body Localization and the recent numerical results for the level and eigenfunction statistics on the random regular graphs, a generalization of the Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix model is suggested that possesses two localization transitions as the parameter γ\gamma of the model varies from 0 to \infty. One of them is the Anderson transition from the localized to the extended states that happens at γ=2\gamma=2. The other one at γ=1\gamma=1 is the transition from the extended non-ergodic (multifractal) states to the extended ergodic states similar to the eigenstates of the Gaussian Orthogonal Ensemble. We computed the two-level spectral correlation function, the spectrum of multifractality f(α)f(\alpha) and the wave function overlap which all show the transitions at γ=1\gamma=1 and γ=2\gamma=2.
