Abstract
We study a delocalization transition for noninteracting quasiparticles moving in two dimensions, which belongs to a new symmetry class. This symmetry class can be realized in a dirty, gapless superconductor in which time-reversal symmetry for orbital motion is broken, but spin-rotation symmetry is intact. We find a direct transition between two insulating phases with quantized Hall conductances of zero and two for the conserved quasiparticles. The energy of the quasiparticles acts as a relevant symmetry-breaking field at the critical point, which splits the direct transition into two conventional plateau transitions.
