  "abstract": "We study a number of hierarchical network models related to the Chalker-Coddington model of quantum percolation. Our aim is to describe the physics of the quantum Hall transition. The hierarchical network models are constructed by combining series and parallel composition of quantum resistors. The localization-delocalization transition occurring in these models is treated by real space renormalization techniques. Essentially, the localization-delocalization transition is due to a competition between two one-dimensional localization mechanisms.",
