Abstract: We define the Anderson hamiltonian on the two dimensional torus $mathbb{R}^2/mathbb{Z}^2$. This operator is formally defined as $mathscrH:=-Delta+xi$ where $Delta$ is the Laplacian operator and where $xi$ belongs to a general class of singular potential which includes the Gaussian white noise distribution. We use the notion of paracontrolled distribution as introduced by Gubinelli, Imkeller and Perkowski in [14]. We are able to define the Schr"odinger operator $mathscrH$ as an unbounded self-adjoint operator on $L^2(mathbb{T}^2)$ and we prove that its real spectrum is discrete with no accumulation points for a general class of singular potential $xi$. We also establish that the spectrum is a continuous function of a sort of enhancement $Xi(xi)$ of the potential $xi$. As an application, we prove that a correctly renormalized smooth approximations $mathscr{H}_{v}arepsilon:=-Delta+x{i}_{v}arepsilon+c_{v}arepsilon$ (where $x{i}_{v}arepsilon$ is a smooth mollification of the Gaussian white noise $xi$ and $c_{v}arepsilon$ an explicit diverging renormalization constant) converge in the sense of the resolvent towards the singular operator $mathscrH$. In the case of a Gaussian white noise $xi$, we obtain exponential tail bounds for the minimal eigenvalue (sometimes called ground state) of the operator $mathscrH$ as well as its order of magnitude $logL$ when the operator is considered on a large box $mathbb{T}_L:=mathbb{R}^2/(LmathbbZ{)}^2$ with $Loinfty$.
