Localization of random perturbations of periodic Schrödinger operators with regular Floquet eigenvalues

Abstract: We prove a localization theorem for continuous ergodic Schr"odinger operators

H_{o} m e g a := H_{0} + V_{o} m e g a

, where the random potential

V_{o} m e g a

is a nonnegative Anderson-type perturbation of the periodic operator

H_{0}

. We consider a lower spectral band edge of

s i g m a (H_{0})

, say

E = 0

, at a gap which is preserved by the perturbation

V_{o} m e g a

. Assuming that all Floquet eigenvalues of

H_{0}

, which reach the spectral edge 0 as a minimum, have there a positive definite Hessian, we conclude that there exists an interval

I

containing 0 such that

H_{o} m e g a

has only pure point spectrum in

I

for almost all

o m e g a

.
