Abstract

We consider the Anderson model with Bernoulli potential on the 3D lattice, and prove localization of eigenfunctions corresponding to eigenvalues near zero, the lower boundary of the spectrum. We follow the framework by Bourgain-Kenig and Ding-Smart, and our main contribution is a 3D discrete unique continuation, which says that any eigenfunction of the harmonic operator with bounded potential cannot be too small on a significant fractional portion of all the points. Its proof relies on geometric arguments about the 3D lattice.
