Abstract: In this Note, we consider 1D lattice Schrodinger operators with deterministic strongly mixing potentials with very small coupling. We describe a scheme to establish positiv- ity of the Lyapunov exponent from a statement at some fixed scale. The required input may then be derived from Furstenberg theory, if the underlying dynamics are sufficiently mixing, or verified directly by numerical means.

Review text

Summary: In this note, we consider 1D lattice Schrödinger operators with deterministic strongly mixing potentials as studied in [\textit{V. Chulaevsky} and \textit{T. Spencer}, Commun. Math. Phys. 168, No. 3, 455--466 (1995; Zbl 0821.60070)] and [\textit{J. Bourgain} and \textit{W. Schlag}, Commun. Math. Phys. 215, No. 1, 143--175 (2000; Zbl 1040.81014)] with very small coupling. We describe a scheme to establish positivity of the Lyapunov exponent from a statement at some fixed scale. The required input may then be derived from Furstenberg theory, if the underlying dynamics are sufficiently mixing, or verified directly by numerical means.
