Abstract: We consider quenched and annealed Lyapunov exponents for the Green's function of $-Delta+gammaV$, where the potentials $$, are i.i.d. nonnegative random variables and $gamma>0$ is a scalar. We present a probabilistic proof that both Lyapunov exponents scale like $csqrtgamma$ as $gamma$ tends to 0. Here the constant $c$ is the same for the quenched as for the annealed exponent and is computed explicitly. This improves results obtained previously by Wei-Min Wang. We also consider other ways to send the potential to zero than multiplying it by a small number.

Review text

The authors consider the symmetric, nearest-neighbor random walk \((S(n))_{n\geq 0}\) in discrete time on \(\mathbb Z^d, d\geq 1,\) which starts at origin \(0\) and corresponding quenched and annealed Lyapunov exponents for the Green's function of \(-\Delta + \gamma V,\) where the potentials \(V(x)\), \(x\in\mathbb Z^d,\) are independent identically distributed nonnegative random variables and \(\gamma > 0\) is a scalar. It is presented a probabilistic proof that both Lyapunov exponents scale like \(c\sqrt \gamma\) as \(\gamma\) tends to \(0,\) where the constant \(c\) is the same for the quenched as for the annealed exponent and is computed explicitly.
