Disordered systems (random Ising models, random Schrödinger operators, etc.) in equilibrium statistical mechanics (82B44)

Abstract: We present computer simulations of anomalous diffusion, $<r^2(t)>sima{t}^{1-delta}$, in two dimensions. The Monte Carlo calculations are in excellent agreement with previous renormalization group calculations. Interestingly, use of a high quality pseudo-random number generator is necessary to observe the anomalous diffusion. A linear-feedback, shift-register method leads to incorrect, ballistic motion of the random walkers.
