Localization for a matrix-valued Anderson model (Q839602)

This paper deals with localization properties for a class of one-dimensional, matrix-valued, continuous, random Schrödinger operators, acting on \(L^2(\mathbb{R})\otimes \mathbb{C}^N\). Precisely, it is shown that, under suitable assumptions on the Fürstenberg group of these operators, they exhibit localization properties on a certain interval of \(\mathbb{R}\). After looking at the regularity properties of the Lyapunov exponents and of the integrated density of states, the author gives a Wegner estimate and applies a multiscale analysis scheme to prove localization for these operators. A specific example in the class of operators is also given to show that the required assumptions are feasible.
