Decorrelation estimates for random Schrödinger operators with non rank one perturbations (Q2043655)

The authors consider random Schrödinger operators \(H^\omega = {\mathcal L} + V_\omega\) on the lattice Hilbert space \(\ell^2 (\mathbb{Z}^d)\). The random potential \(V_\omega\) has the form \[(V_\omega f)(j) = \sum_{i \in {\mathcal J}} \omega_i (P_i f)(j),\] where \(\{ P_i \}_{i \in {\mathcal{J}}}\) is a family of finite-rank projections with the same rank \(m_k \geq 1\), the set \(\mathcal{J}\) is a sublattice of \(\mathbb{Z}^d\), and \(\sum_{i \in {\mathcal{J}}} P_i = I\). It is assumed that \(P_i = U_i P_0 U_i^{-1}\), for all \(i \in \mathcal{J}\), where \(U_i\) is the unitary implementation of the translation group \((U_i f)(k) = f(k+i)\), for \(i, k \in \mathbb{Z}^d\). The coefficients \(\{ \omega_i \}\) are a family of independent, identically distributed random variables with a bounded density of compact support on a product probability space. \par Let \(E,E'\) be two distinct energies from the region of complete localization with \(|E - E'| > 4d\). Let \(\xi_{\omega, E}\), respectively, \(\xi_{\omega, E'}\), be a limit point of the local eigenvalue statistics centered at \(E\), respectively, at \(E'\). The authors prove that for any bounded intervals \(I,J\), the random variables \(\xi_{\omega, E}(I)\) and \(\xi_{\omega, E'}(J)\) are independent random variables distributed according to a compound Poisson process whose Lévy measure has finite support. \par It is also proved that the eigenvalues in the localization regime have multiplicity at most \(m_k\) with probability one.
