On the absence of absolutely continuous spectra for Schrödinger operators on radial tree graphs
نویسنده
چکیده
The subject of the paper are Schrödinger operators on tree graphs which are radial having the branching number bn at all the vertices at the distance tn from the root. We consider a family of coupling conditions at the vertices characterized by (bn− 1)+4 real parameters. We prove that if the graph is sparse so that there is a subsequence of {tn+1 − tn} growing to infinity, in the absence of the potential the absolutely continuous spectrum is empty for a large subset of these vertex couplings, but on the the other hand, there are cases when the spectrum of such a Schrödinger operator can be purely absolutely continuous.

Persistence under Weak Disorder of AC Spectra of Quasi-Periodic Schrödinger operators on Trees Graphs
We consider radial tree extensions of one-dimensional quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators and establish the stability of their absolutely continuous spectra under weak but extensive perturbations by a random potential. The sufficiency criterion for that is the existence of Bloch-Floquet states for the one dimensional operator corresponding to the radial problem.
متن کاملFluctuation based proof of the stability of ac spectra of random operators on tree graphs
The talk will summarize recent works on the stability under disorder of the absolutely continuous spectra of random operators on tree graphs. The cases covered include: Schroedinger operators with random potential, quantum graph operators for trees with randomized edge lengths, and Schroedinger operators with radial quasi-periodic potentials. The results were derived jointly with R. Sims and S....
متن کاملStability of the Absolutely Continuous Spectrum of Random Schrödinger Operators on Tree Graphs
The subject of this work are random Schrödinger operators on regular rooted tree graphs T with stochastically homogeneous disorder. The operators are of the form Hλ(ω) = T + U + λV (ω) acting in l(T), with T the adjacency matrix, U a radially periodic potential, and V (ω) a random potential. This includes the only class of homogeneously random operators for which it was proven that the spectrum...
متن کاملLyapunov Exponents and Spectral Analysis of Ergodic Schrödinger Operators: a Survey of Kotani Theory and Its Applications
The absolutely continuous spectrum of an ergodic family of onedimensional Schrödinger operators is completely determined by the Lyapunov exponent as shown by Ishii, Kotani and Pastur. Moreover, the part of the theory developed by Kotani gives powerful tools for proving the absence of absolutely continuous spectrum, the presence of absolutely continuous spectrum, and even the presence of purely ...
متن کاملHalf-line Schrödinger Operators with No Bound States
We consider Schödinger operators on the half-line, both discrete and continuous, and show that the absence of bound states implies the absence of embedded singular spectrum. More precisely, in the discrete case we prove that if ∆+V has no spectrum outside of the interval [−2, 2], then it has purely absolutely continuous spectrum. In the continuum case we show that if both −∆+V and −∆−V have no ...
