38 Summary The p-spin and QREM provides a mean-field model of eigenstate localization, and the localized-eth transition at finite energy density mobility edge. First order eigenstate transition. Perturbative treatment in forward approximation directed random polymer on hypercube. De-localization transition inside canonical paramagnetic phase, but below T d.

39 Open Questions Complete analytic solution of p-spin/ QREM? Do thermodynamics reflect dynamical transition? (Existing canonical phase diagrams perhaps not complete.) Time scales in the ETH regime? No infinite temperature localization feature of long-range interactions? Connection to short-range MBL?
