Goal: the goal of this set of problems is to derive an estimate for the transition point for the Anderson model on the Bethe lattice.
Techniques: cavity method, stability analysis.

A criterion for localization

  • Green functions and self-energies. Given a lattice Λ with sites a, we call |a the wave function completely localised in site a. The Anderson model has Hamiltonian

    H=Waϵa|aa|+<a,b>Vab(|ab|+|ba|)=H0+V

    where the local fields ϵa are random variables. We introduce the Green functions Gab(z) and the local self-energies σa(z): these are functions of a complex variable belonging to the upper half of the complex plane, and are defined by [NOTA SU STILTJIES]

    Gab(z)=a|1zH|b,Gaa(z)=a|1zH|a=1zϵaσa(z).

    It is clear that when the kinetic term V in the Hamiltonian vanishes, the local self-energies vanish; these quantities encode how much the energy levels ϵa are shifted by the presence of the kinetic term V. They are random functions, because the Hamiltonian contains randomness. They encode properties on the spectrum of the Hamiltonian; the density of eigenvalues ρ(λ) is in fact given by

    ρ(λ)=limη0+Gaa(λ+iη)
