Abstract
We consider the Anderson model on the finite grid , defined by the random Hamiltonian , where is the discrete Laplacian and is a random onsite potential with i.i.d. We ask the natural question of when has simple eigenvalues and non-vanishing eigenvectors. We prove that, when is a continuous probability distribution, has this property for all but finitely many values with probability . However, when is a Bernoulli distribution, the conditions fail with positive probability, for which we give a lower bound. We also calculate the exact probability of these conditions being met in the Bernoulli case when and is prime.
