Abstract: We prove that at large disorder, Anderson localization in $$ is stable under localized time-periodic perturbations by proving that the associated quasi-energy operator has pure point spectrum. The formulation of this problem is motivated by questions of Anderson localization for non-linear Schr"odinger equations.

Review text

Time-independent random Schrödinger operator is an operator of the form \[ H_0=\Delta+rV, \text{ on } l^2({\mathbb Z}^d), \] where \(r\) is a positive parameter, the potential \(V\) is a diagonal matrix, \(V=\text{diag}(v_j), j\in {\mathbb Z}^d\), where \(\{v_j\}\) is a family of independently indentically distributed random variables with distribution \(g\). It is known that under certain regularity conditions on \(g\), for \(r\gg 1\), and in any dimension \(d\), the spectrum of \(H_0\) is almost surely pure point with exponentially localized eigenfunctions. This is called Anderson localization, after the physicist \textit{P. W. Anderson} [Absence of diffusion in certain random lattices, Phys. Rev. 109, 1492--1505 (1958)]. In this paper, by proving that the associated quasi-energy operator has pure point spectrum, the authors show that at large disorder, Anderson localization in \({\mathbb Z}^d\) is stable under bounded localized time periodic perturbations. It is a type of quantum stability results. For other results of related interests, see e.g. \textit{J. Béllissard} [Lect. Notes Phys. 257, 99--156 (1986; Zbl 0612.46022)], \textit{M. Combescure} [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré 47, 63--83, Errata: 451--454 (1987; Zbl 0635.70018)] and \textit{P. Sarnak}, [Commun. Math. Phys. 84, 377--401 (1982; Zbl 0506.35071)]. The formulation of the problem is motivated by questions of Anderson localization for nonlinear Schrödinger equations.
