Abstract: Eigenfunctions in inhomogeneous media can have strong localization properties. Filoche & Mayboroda showed that the function $u$ solving $(-Delta+V)u=1$ controls the behavior of eigenfunctions $(-Delta+V)phi=lambdaphi$ via the inequality ${\displaystyle }$|phi(x)| leq lambda u(x) |phi|_{L^{infty}}.${\displaystyle }$ This inequality has proven to be remarkably effective in predicting localization and recently Arnold, David, Jerison, Mayboroda & Filoche connected $1/u$ to decay properties of eigenfunctions. We aim to clarify properties of the landscape: the main ingredient is a localized variation estimate obtained from writing $phi(x)$ as an average over Brownian motion $omega(cdot)$ in started in $x$ ${\displaystyle }$phi(x) = mathbb{E}_{x}left(phi(omega(t)) e^{lambda t-int_{0}^{t}{V(omega(z))dz}} ight).${\displaystyle }$ This variation estimate will guarantee that $phi$ has to change at least by a factor of 2 in a small ball, which implicitly creates a landscape whose relationship with $1/u$ we discuss.
