Abstract

Complete localization is shown to hold for the dd-dimensional Anderson model with uniformly distributed random potentials provided the disorder strength λ>λAnd\lambda >\lambda_{And} where λAnd\lambda_{\text{And}} satisfies λAnd=μdelnλAnd\lambda_{\text{And}}=\mu_d e \ln \lambda_{\text{And}} with μd\mu_d the self-avoiding walk connective constant for the lattice Zd\mathbb{Z}^d. Notably λAnd\lambda_{\text{And}} is precisely the large disorder threshold proposed by Anderson in 1958.
