Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the delocalization property of the discrete Schr\"odinger operator Hω=Δ+vnωnδn,nH_\omega=-\Delta+v_n\omega_n\delta_{n,n'}, where vn=κnαv_n=\kappa |n|^{-\alpha} and ω={ωn}nZd{±1}Zd\omega=\{\omega_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{Z}^d}\in \{\pm 1\}^{\mathbb{Z}^d} is a sequence of i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables. Under the assumptions of d5d\geq 5, α>14\alpha>\frac14 and 0<κ10<\kappa\ll1, we construct the extended states for a deterministic renormalization of HωH_\omega for most ω\omega. This extends the work of Bourgain [{\it Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis}, LNM 1807: 70--98, 2003], where the case α>13\alpha>\frac13 was handled. Our proof is based on Green's function estimates via a 66th-order renormalization scheme. Among the main new ingredients are the proof of a generalized Khintchine inequality via Bonami's lemma, and the application of the fractional Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality to control a new type of non-random operators arising from the 66th-order renormalization.
