Spectral localization for quantum Hamiltonians with weak random delta interaction

Abstract

We consider a negative Laplacian in multi-dimensional Euclidean space (or a multi-dimensional layer) with a weak disorder random perturbation. The perturbation consists of a sum of lattice translates of a delta interaction supported on a compact manifold of co-dimension one and modulated by coupling constants, which are independent identically distributed random variables times a small disorder parameter. We establish that the spectrum of the considered operator is almost surely a fixed set, characterize its minimum, give an initial length scale estimate and the Wegner estimate, and conclude that there is a small zone of a pure point spectrum containing the almost sure spectral bottom. The length of this zone is proportional to the small disorder parameter.
