We discuss quantum propagation of dipole excitations in two dimensions. This problem differs from the conventional Anderson localization due to the existence of long-range hops. We find that the critical wave functions of the dipoles always exist which manifest themselves by a scale independent diffusion constant. If the system is T invariant the states are critical for all values of the parameters. Otherwise, there can be a metal-insulator transition between this ordinary diffusion and the Levy flights (the diffusion constant logarithmically increasing with the scale). These results follow from the two-loop analysis of the modified nonlinear supermatrix sigma model.
