Abstract: We consider isotropic

X Y

spin chains whose magnetic potentials are quasiperiodic and the effective one-particle Hamiltonians have absolutely continuous spectra. For a wide class of such

X Y

spin chains, we obtain lower bounds on their Lieb--Robinson velocities in terms of group velocities of their effective Hamiltonians:

m a t h f r a k v g e m a t h r m {e s s, s u p}_{[0, 1]} f r a c 2 p i f r a c d E d N,

where

E

is considered as a function of the integrated density of states.

Review text

The author studies the \(XY\) spin chain with quasiperiodic multi-frequency effective Hamiltonian \((H(x)\psi)_n = \psi_n+1 + \psi_{n-1}+v(x+n\alpha)\psi_n\) where \(\alpha\) is an irrational frequency vector and \(v\) is a continuous function on a \(d\)-dimensional torus. Under the assumption of \(L^2\) degree \(0\) reducibility of the corresponding Schrödinger cocycle, the author proves that there exists a non-trivial bound of the Lieb-Robinson velocity. Further, he obtains an explicit description of the lower bound in terms of the group velocity for the effective Hamiltonian.
