Ground state energy of trimmed discrete Schrödinger operators and localization for trimmed Anderson models

Abstract: We consider discrete Schr"odinger operators of the form

H = - D e l t a + V

on

, where

D e l t a

is the discrete Laplacian and

V

is a bounded potential. Given

, the

G a m m a

-trimming of

H

is the restriction of

H

to

, denoted by

H_{G} a m m a

. We investigate the dependence of the ground state energy

E_{G} a m m a (H) = i n f s i g m a (H_{G} a m m a)

on

G a m m a

. We show that for relatively dense proper subsets

G a m m a

of

we always have

E_{G} a m m a (H) > E_{e} m p t y s e t (H)

. We use this lifting of the ground state energy to establish Wegner estimates and localization at the bottom of the spectrum for

G a m m a

-trimmed Anderson models, i.e., Anderson models with the random potential supported by the set

G a m m a
