Simplicity of eigenvalues in Anderson-type models

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: We show almost sure simplicity of eigenvalues for several models of Anderson-type random Schr"odinger operators, extending methods introduced by Simon for the discrete Anderson model. These methods work throughout the spectrum and are not restricted to the localization regime. We establish general criteria for the simplicity of eigenvalues which can be interpreted as separately excluding the absence of local and global symmetries, respectively. The criteria are applied to Anderson models with matrix-valued potential as well as with single-site potentials supported on a finite box.


The authors consider Anderson-type models with matrix-valued potential as well as finitely supported single site potential. These models have in common that they are generalizations of the discrete Anderson model where the single-site potential is an operator of finite rank greater than one, providing internal structure to the single-site terms. By generalization of \textit{B. Simon}'s argument [Rev. Math. Phys. 6, No. 5a, 1183--1185 (1994; Zbl 0841.60081)] for the discrete Anderson model, almost sure simplicity of eigenvalues for the considered models is shown.
