Homogenization of the Schrödinger equation with large, random potential

چکیده
We study the behavior of solutions to a Schrödinger equation with large, rapidly oscillating, mean zero, random potential with Gaussian distribution. We show that in high dimension d > m, where m is the order of the spatial pseudo-differential operator in the Schrödinger equation (with m = 2 for the standard Laplace operator), the solution converges in the L sense uniformly in time over finite intervals to the solution of a deterministic Schrödinger equation as the correlation length ε tends to 0. This generalizes to long times the convergence results obtained for short times and for the heat equation in [2]. The result is based on the decomposition of multiple scattering contributions introduced in [6]. In dimension d < m, the random solution converges to the solution of a stochastic partial differential equation; see [1, 13].

The random Schrödinger equation: slowly decorrelating time-dependent potentials
We analyze the weak-coupling limit of the random Schrödinger equation with low frequency initial data and a slowly decorrelating random potential. For the probing signal with a sufficiently long wavelength, we prove a homogenization result, that is, the properly compensated wave field admits a deterministic limit in the “very low” frequency regime. The limit is “anomalous” in the sense that the...
متن کاملHomogenization with Large Spatial Random Potential
We consider the homogenization of parabolic equations with large spatiallydependent potentials modeled as Gaussian random fields. We derive the homogenized equations in the limit of vanishing correlation length of the random potential. We characterize the leading effect in the random fluctuations and show that their spatial moments converge in law to Gaussian random variables. Both results hold...
متن کاملHomogenization of Parabolic Equations with Large Time-dependent Random Potential
This paper concerns the homogenization problem of a parabolic equation with large, timedependent, random potentials in high dimensions d ≥ 3. Depending on the competition between temporal and spatial mixing of the randomness, the homogenization procedure turns to be different. We characterize the difference by proving the corresponding weak convergence of Brownian motion in random scenery. When...
متن کاملHomogenization of a Singular Random One-dimensional Pde with Time-varying Coefficients by Étienne Pardoux
In this paper we study the homogenization of a nonautonomous parabolic equation with a large random rapidly oscillating potential in the case of onedimensional spatial variable. We show that if the potential is a statistically homogeneous rapidly oscillating function of both temporal and spatial variables, then, under proper mixing assumptions, the limit equation is deterministic, and convergen...
متن کاملA PRELUDE TO THE THEORY OF RANDOM WALKS IN RANDOM ENVIRONMENTS
A random walk on a lattice is one of the most fundamental models in probability theory. When the random walk is inhomogenous and its inhomogeniety comes from an ergodic stationary process, the walk is called a random walk in a random environment (RWRE). The basic questions such as the law of large numbers (LLN), the central limit theorem (CLT), and the large deviation principle (LDP) are ...
