Title LOCALIZATION FOR AN ANDERSON-BERNOULLI MODEL WITH GENERIC INTERACTION POTENTIAL

Author Hakim Boumaza

(Received May 12, 2010, revised April 24, 2012)
Abstract. We present a result of localization for a matrix-valued Anderson-Bernoulli operator acting on the space of $\boldsymbol{C}^N$-valued square-integrable functions, for an arbitrary $N$ larger than 1, whose interaction potential is generic in the real symmetric matrices. For such a generic real symmetric matrix, we construct an explicit interval of energies on which we prove localization, in both spectral and dynamical senses, away from a finite set of critical energies. This construction is based upon the formalism of the Fürstenberg group to which we apply a general criterion of density in semisimple Lie groups. The algebraic nature of the objects we are considering allows us to prove a generic result on the interaction potential and the finiteness of the set of critical energies.
