Decay of determinantal and Pfaffian correlation functionals in one-dimensional lattices (Q330895)

The paper is partly motivated by the theory of disordered quantum systems governed by Hamiltonians of Anderson type. The XY Hamiltonian is elevated to a random one by assuming suitable properties (iid random variables) of the external magnetic field, while the spin coupling parameters are kept constant. Under these assumptions the strong dynamical localization is proven in the spin chain. The main objective of the paper is the study of decay properties of multipoint correlation functionals in terms of decay properties of their two-point functions. The bounds are established on certain determinants and Pfaffians. They go beyond the standard Hadamard estimates. The proof of the strong (exponential) dynamical localization of spin-correlation functions in disordered XY-spin chains is a consequence of the pertinent bounds.
