Abstract

In this paper, we investigate Anderson localization for a nonlinear perturbation of the Maryland model H=εΔ+cotπ(θ+jα)δj,jH=\varepsilon\Delta+\cot\pi(\theta+j\cdot\alpha)\delta_{j,j'} on Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. Specifically, if ε,δ\varepsilon,\delta are sufficiently small, we construct a large number of time quasi-periodic and space exponentially decaying solutions (i.e., Anderson localized states) for the equation iut=Hu+δu2pui\frac{\partial u}{\partial t}=Hu+\delta|u|^{2p}u with a Diophantine α\alpha. Our proof combines eigenvalue estimates of the Maryland model with the Craig-Wayne-Bourgain method, which originates from KAM theory for Hamiltonian PDEs.
