Localization Bounds for Multiparticle Systems
We consider the spectral and dynamical properties of quantum systems of
particles on the lattice , of arbitrary dimension, with a Hamiltonian
which in addition to the kinetic term includes a random potential with iid
values at the lattice sites and a finite-range interaction. Two basic
parameters of the model are the strength of the disorder and the strength of
the interparticle interaction. It is established here that for all there
are regimes of high disorder, and/or weak enough interactions, for which the
system exhibits spectral and dynamical localization. The localization is
expressed through bounds on the transition amplitudes, which are uniform in
time and decay exponentially in the Hausdorff distance in the configuration
space. The results are derived through the analysis of fractional moments of
the -particle Green function, and related bounds on the eigenfunction
correlators
Anderson localization for a class of models with a sign-indefinite single-site potential via fractional moment method
A technically convenient signature of Anderson localization is exponential
decay of the fractional moments of the Green function within appropriate energy
ranges. We consider a random Hamiltonian on a lattice whose randomness is
generated by the sign-indefinite single-site potential, which is however
sign-definite at the boundary of its support. For this class of Anderson
operators we establish a finite-volume criterion which implies that above
mentioned the fractional moment decay property holds. This constructive
criterion is satisfied at typical perturbative regimes, e. g. at spectral
boundaries which satisfy 'Lifshitz tail estimates' on the density of states and
for sufficiently strong disorder. We also show how the fractional moment method
facilitates the proof of exponential (spectral) localization for such random
potentials.Comment: 29 pages, 1 figure, to appear in AH
Infrared bound and mean-field behaviour in the quantum Ising model
We prove an infrared bound for the transverse field Ising model. This bound
is stronger than the previously known infrared bound for the model, and allows
us to investigate mean-field behaviour. As an application we show that the
critical exponent for the susceptibility attains its mean-field value
in dimension at least 4 (positive temperature), respectively 3
(ground state), with logarithmic corrections in the boundary cases.Comment: 42 pages, 5 figures, to appear in CM
Multi-Particle Anderson Localisation: Induction on the Number of Particles
This paper is a follow-up of our recent papers \cite{CS08} and \cite{CS09}
covering the two-particle Anderson model. Here we establish the phenomenon of
Anderson localisation for a quantum -particle system on a lattice
with short-range interaction and in presence of an IID external potential with
sufficiently regular marginal cumulative distribution function (CDF). Our main
method is an adaptation of the multi-scale analysis (MSA; cf. \cite{FS},
\cite{FMSS}, \cite{DK}) to multi-particle systems, in combination with an
induction on the number of particles, as was proposed in our earlier manuscript
\cite{CS07}. Similar results have been recently obtained in an independent work
by Aizenman and Warzel \cite{AW08}: they proposed an extension of the
Fractional-Moment Method (FMM) developed earlier for single-particle models in
\cite{AM93} and \cite{ASFH01} (see also references therein) which is also
combined with an induction on the number of particles.
An important role in our proof is played by a variant of Stollmann's
eigenvalue concentration bound (cf. \cite{St00}). This result, as was proved
earlier in \cite{C08}, admits a straightforward extension covering the case of
multi-particle systems with correlated external random potentials: a subject of
our future work. We also stress that the scheme of our proof is \textit{not}
specific to lattice systems, since our main method, the MSA, admits a
continuous version. A proof of multi-particle Anderson localization in
continuous interacting systems with various types of external random potentials
will be published in a separate papers
The Number of Incipient Spanning Clusters in Two-Dimensional Percolation
Using methods of conformal field theory, we conjecture an exact form for the
probability that n distinct clusters span a large rectangle or open cylinder of
aspect ratio k, in the limit when k is large.Comment: 9 pages, LaTeX, 1 eps figure. Additional references and comparison

Exponential dynamical localization for the almost Mathieu operator
We prove that the exponential moments of the position operator stay bounded
for the supercritical almost Mathieu operator with Diophantine frequency
Localization criteria for Anderson models on locally finite graphs
We prove spectral and dynamical localization for Anderson models on locally
finite graphs using the fractional moment method. Our theorems extend earlier
results on localization for the Anderson model on \ZZ^d. We establish
geometric assumptions for the underlying graph such that localization can be
proven in the case of sufficiently large disorder
Decay Properties of the Connectivity for Mixed Long Range Percolation Models on
In this short note we consider mixed short-long range independent bond
percolation models on . Let be the probability that the edge
will be open. Allowing a -dependent length scale and using a
multi-scale analysis due to Aizenman and Newman, we show that the long distance
behavior of the connectivity is governed by the probability
. The result holds up to the critical point.Comment: 6 page
Anchored Critical Percolation Clusters and 2-D Electrostatics
We consider the densities of clusters, at the percolation point of a
two-dimensional system, which are anchored in various ways to an edge. These
quantities are calculated by use of conformal field theory and computer
simulations. We find that they are given by simple functions of the potentials
of 2-D electrostatic dipoles, and that a kind of superposition {\it cum}
factorization applies. Our results broaden this connection, already known from
previous studies, and we present evidence that it is more generally valid. An
exact result similar to the Kirkwood superposition approximation emerges.Comment: 4 pages, 1 (color) figure. More numerics, minor corrections,
