A comprehensive proof of localization for continuous Anderson models with singular random potentials (Q1932205): Difference between revisions

Anderson Hamiltonians are alloy-type random Schrödinger operators on \(L^2({\mathbb R}^d)\) that model the motion of an electron moving in a random disorder crystal. In the paper, a strong form of localization at the bottom of the spectrum for Anderson Hamiltonians with a non-degenerate single probability distribution with compact support and without any regularity condition on the single site probability distribution is proved. This strong form of localization includes Anderson localization (pure point spectrum with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions) with finite multiplicity of eigenvalues, dynamical localization (no spreading of wave packets under the time evolution), decay of eigenfunctions correlations, and decay of the Fermi projections. An integrated density of states for an Anderson Hamiltonian is defined through the infinite volume limit of the normalized eigenvalue counting functions of appropriate restrictions to finite volumes. Log-Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states at the bottom of the spectrum is proved.
