Quantum diffusion and delocalization in one-dimensional band matrices via the flow method
Sofiia Dubova, Kevin Yang · arXiv (Cornell University) · 2024
We study a class of Gaussian random band matrices of dimension $N \times N$ and band-width $W$. We show that delocalization holds for bulk eigenvectors and that quantum diffusion holds for the resolvent, all under the assumption that $W \gg N^{8/11}$. Our analysis is based on a flow method, and a refinement of it may lead to an improvement on the condition $W \gg N^{8/11}$.
