Abstract

We construct the continuous Anderson hamiltonian on (L,L)d(-L,L)^d driven by a white noise and endowed with either Dirichlet or periodic boundary conditions. Our construction holds in any dimension d3d\le 3 and relies on the theory of regularity structures: it yields a self-adjoint operator in L2((L,L)d)L^2\big((-L,L)^d\big) with pure point spectrum. In d2d\ge 2, a renormalisation of the operator by means of infinite constants is required to compensate for ill-defined products involving functionals of the white noise. We also obtain left tail estimates on the distributions of the eigenvalues: in particular, for d=3d=3 these estimates show that the eigenvalues do not have exponential moments.
