Abstract

Generic interacting, disordered and isolated systems were shown to break ergodicity in a dynamical transition, called the many-body localization transition. In this talk I will survey the anomalous dynamical properties of the ergodic phase and will present a phenomenological picture which was proposed to explain them. I will provide evidence which suggest that this picture might not be complete.
