    "abstract": "An analytical microscopic theory for the resonant multiple scattering of\nlight by cold atoms with arbitrary internal degeneracy is presented. It permits\nto calculate the average amplitude and the average intensity for one-photon\nstates of the full transverse electromagnetic field in a dilute medium of\nunpolarized atoms. Special emphasis is laid upon an analysis in terms of\nirreducible representations of the rotation group. It allows to sum explicitly\nthe ladder and maximally crossed diagrams, giving the average intensity in the\nBoltzmann approximation and the interference corrections responsible for weak\nlocalization and coherent backscattering. The exact decomposition into field\nmodes shows that the atomic internal degeneracy contributes to the\ndepolarization of the average intensity and suppresses the interference\ncorrections. Static as well as dynamic quantities like the transport velocity,\ndiffusion constants and relaxation times for all field modes and all atomic\ntransitions are derived.",
