Localization in the ground state of an interacting quasi-periodic fermionic chain

We consider a one dimensional many body fermionic system with a large incommensurate external potential and a weak short range interaction. We prove, for chemical potentials in a gap of the non interacting spectrum, that the zero temperature thermodynamical correlations are exponentially decaying for large distances, with a decay rate much larger than the gap; this indicates the persistence of localization in the interacting ground state. The analysis is based on the renormalization group, and convergence of the renormalized expansion is achieved using fermionic cancellations and controlling the small divisor problem assuming a Diophantine condition for the frequency.
