We introduce a generalized Thouless' criterion for localization to include the effects of the Coulomb interaction and establish the quantization of the Hall conductance as well as the theory of massless edge bosons.4 pages, no figuresMesoscale and Nanoscale PhysicsDisordered Systems and Neural NetworksLocalization, Coulomb interaction, topological principles and the quantum Hall effecttext
