Abstract: We consider discrete one-dimensional random Schroedinger operators with decaying matrix-valued, independent potentials. We show that if the l^2-norm of this potential has finite expectation value with respect to the product measure then almost surely the Schroedinger operator has an interval of purely absolutely continuous (ac) spectrum. We apply this result to Schroedinger operators on a strip. This work provides a new proof and generalizes a result obtained by Delyon, Simon, and Souillard.

Review text

The authors are interested in the absolutely continuous spectrum of discrete one-dimensional random Schrödinger operators with decaying potentials. The problem is formulated in terms of matrix-valued independent potentials on the one-dimensional lattice \(\mathbb{Z}\). If the \(\ell^2\)-norm of the underlying potential has finite expectation value with respect to the product measure, then almost surely the Schrödinger operator has an interval of purely absolutely continuous spectrum, depending on the constant `potential' part of the Schrödinger operator. The proof is based on a study of the corresponding Green functions. The obtained result is applied to Schrödinger operators on a strip. This work provides a new proof and generalizes a result obtained by \textit{F. Delyon, B. Simon} and \textit{B. Souillard} [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Phys. Théor. 42, 283--309 (1985; Zbl 0579.60056)].
