Abstract
We study the disordered Heisenberg spin chain, which exhibits many body localization at strong disorder, in the weak to moderate disorder regime. A continued fraction calculation of dynamical correlations is devised, using a variational extrapolation of recurrents. Good convergence for the infinite chain limit is shown. We find that the local spin correlations decay at long times as , while the conductivity exhibits a low frequency power law . The exponents depict sub-diffusive behavior at all finite disorders, and convergence to the scaling result, , at large disorders.
