Numerical and theoretical studies of the Anderson transition in the chiral symmetry classes with weak topology

The study investigates how a weak 1D band topology affects metal-insulator transitions across chiral symmetry classes. Numerical simulations suggest an intermediate quasi-localized (QL) phase exists, but renormalization group analysis indicates that the key signature is spatially anisotropic scaling at the critical point, not necessarily a stable QL fixed point.
