We construct a nonlinear $\sigma$ model to describe a system of non-interacting electrons propagating in the presence of random magnetic flux. We find a term describing the long ranged logarithmic interaction between the topological density of the non-linear sigma model, and argue that this could give rise to a Kosterlitz-Thouless transition from the localized phase to a phase with power law correlations and continuously varying conductances. We provide a physical interpretation of our results in terms of the scattering of edge states of the magnetic domains in different regions.
