Lyapunov Exponents for Unitary Anderson Models
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study a unitary version of the one-dimensional Anderson model, given by a five diagonal deterministic unitary operator multiplicatively perturbed by a random phase matrix. We fully characterize positivity and vanishing of the Lyapunov exponent for this model throughout the spectrum and for arbitrary distributions of the random phases. This includes Bernoulli distributions, where in certain cases a finite number of critical spectral values, with vanishing Lyapunov exponent, exists. We establish similar results for a unitary version of the random dimer model.

Lyapunov exponents in continuum Bernoulli-Anderson models
We study one-dimensional, continuum Bernoulli-Anderson models with general single-site potentials and prove positivity of the Lyapunov exponent away from a discrete set of critical energies. The proof is based on Fürstenberg’s Theorem. The set of critical energies is described explicitly in terms of the transmission and reflection coefficients for scattering at the single-site potential. In exa...
متن کاملPositivity of Lyapunov exponents for Anderson-type models on two coupled strings
We study two models of Anderson-type random operators on two deterministically coupled continuous strings. Each model is associated with independent, identically distributed four-by-four symplectic transfer matrices, which describe the asymptotics of solutions. In each case we use a criterion by Gol’dsheid and Margulis (i.e. Zariski denseness of the group generated by the transfer matrices in t...
متن کاملMetal-insulator transition in three dimensional Anderson model: scaling of higher Lyapunov exponents
Numerical studies of the Anderson transition are based on finite-size scaling analysis of the smallest positive Lyapunov exponent. We prove numerically that the same scaling holds also for higher Lyapunov exponents. This scaling supports the hypothesis of the one-parameter scaling of the conductance distribution. From collected numerical data for quasi one dimensional systems up to system size ...
