Abstract

We consider random Schr\"odinger equations on \bRd\bR^d for d3d\ge 3 with a homogeneous Anderson-Poisson type random potential. Denote by λ\lambda the coupling constant and ψt\psi_t the solution with initial data ψ0\psi_0. The space and time variables scale as xλ2κ/2,tλ2κx\sim \lambda^{-2 -\kappa/2}, t \sim \lambda^{-2 -\kappa} with 0<κ<κ0(d)0< \kappa < \kappa_0(d). We prove that, in the limit λ0\lambda \to 0, the expectation of the Wigner distribution of ψt\psi_t converges weakly to the solution of a heat equation in the space variable xx for arbitrary L2L^2 initial data. The proof is based on a rigorous analysis of Feynman diagrams. In the companion paper the analysis of the non-repetition diagrams was presented. In this paper we complete the proof by estimating the recollision diagrams and showing that the main terms, i.e. the ladder diagrams with renormalized propagator, converge to the heat equation.
