Abstract

We determine the phase diagram of the Anderson tight-binding model on random regular graphs with Gaussian disorder and sufficiently large degree. In particular, we prove that if the degree is fixed and the number of vertices goes to infinity, the spectrum asymptotically consists of a finite delocalized interval surrounded by two unbounded localized components. Our argument uses a recent description of the spectrum of the tight-binding model on the Bethe lattice (Aggarwal--Lopatto, 2025). By viewing the Bethe lattice as the local limit of a random regular graph, and establishing suitable concentration, eigenvalue-counting, and resolvent estimates, we transfer this characterization of the spectrum of the limiting model to the finite-volume setting.
