Abstract: We prove decorrelation estimates for generalized lattice Anderson models on Zd constructed with finite-rank perturbations in the spirit of Klopp cite{klopp}. These are applied to prove that the local eigenvalue statistics xiomegaE and xiomegaEprime, associated with two energies E and E′ in the localization region and satisfying |E−E′|>4d, are independent. That is, if I,J are two bounded intervals, the random variables xiomegaE(I) and xiomegaE′(J), are independent and distributed according to a compound Poisson distribution whose L'evy measure has finite support. We also prove that the extended Minami estimate implies that the eigenvalues in the localization region have multiplicity at most the rank of the perturbation. The method of proof contains new ingredients that simplify the proof of the rank one case cite{klopp,shirley,trinh}, extends to models for which the eigenvalues are degenerate, and applies to models for which the potential is not sign definite cite{tautenhahn-veselic1} in dimensions dgeq1.


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.
