In a diffusive conductor the eigenstates are spread over the entire sample. However, with certain probability, an anomalously localized state (ALS) can occur, i.e. the wave function assumes anomalously large values in some region of space.…
We study rare events in the extreme value statistics of stochastic symmetric jump processes with power tails in the distributions of the jumps, using the big-jump principle. The principle states that in the presence of stochastic processes…
We study random one-Lipschitz integer functions $f$ on the vertices of a finite connected graph, sampled according to the weight $W(f) = \prod_{\langle v, w \rangle \in E} \mathbf{c}^{ \mathbb{I} \{ f(v) = f(w) \} }$ where $\mathbf{c} \geq…

We establish Anderson localization for quasiperiodic operator families of the form $$ (H(x)\psi)(m)=\psi(m+1)+\psi(m-1)+\lambda v(x+m\alpha)\psi(m) $$ for all $\lambda>0$ and all Diophantine $\alpha$, provided that $v$ is a $1$-periodic…

We study a random Schroedinger operator, the Laplacian with random Dirac delta potentials on a torus T^d_L = R^d/LZ^d, in the thermodynamic limit L\to\infty, for dimension d=2. The potentials are located on a randomly distorted lattice…
We investigate the ability of popular flow based methods to capture tail-properties of a target density by studying the increasing triangular maps used in these flow methods acting on a tractable source density. We show that the density…
A technically convenient signature of Anderson localization is exponential decay of the fractional moments of the Green function within appropriate energy ranges. We consider a random Hamiltonian on a lattice whose randomness is generated…
This work introduces the minimax Laplace transform method, a modification of the cumulant-based matrix Laplace transform method developed in "User-friendly tail bounds for sums of random matrices" (arXiv:1004.4389v6) that yields both upper…
We study the transport properties of Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^2$ with potentials that are periodic in one direction and compactly supported in the other. Such systems are known to produce surface states that are weakly…
Finite sample properties of random covariance-type matrices have been the subject of much research. In this paper we focus on the "lower tail" of such a matrix, and prove that it is subgaussian under a simple fourth moment assumption on the…
We consider a Schr\"odinger operator with a Hermitian 2x2 matrix-valued potential which is lattice periodic and can be diagonalized smoothly on the whole $R^n.$ In the case of potential taking its minimum only on the lattice, we prove that…
We provide a precise description of the bottom of the spectrum in the semiclassical limit of a harmonic-type Schr\"odinger operator with an inverse square potential. By exploiting the connection between the eigenfunctions of these operators…
We study Schr\"odinger operators on the real line whose potentials are generated by an underlying ergodic subshift over a finite alphabet and a rule that replaces symbols by compactly supported potential pieces. We first develop the…
We study the upper tail of the number of arithmetic progressions of a given length in a random subset of {1,...,n}, establishing exponential bounds which are best possible up to constant factors in the exponent. The proof also extends to…
Exponential, and not Gaussian, decay of probability density functions was studied by Laplace in the context of his analysis of errors. Such Laplace propagators for the diffusive motion of single particles in disordered media were recently…
We show that continuous random walks (diffusion) in the Poincar\'{e} hyperbolic upper halfplane $\mathbb{H}^2 = \{(x,y)|y>0\}$ provide a unifying description of three seemingly unrelated phenomena: (i) the non-analytic divergence of the…
Loynes' distribution, which characterizes the one dimensional marginal of the stationary solution to Lindley's recursion, possesses an ultimately exponential tail for a large class of increment processes. If one can observe increments but…
We consider the spin-$J$ XXZ-Hamiltonian on general graphs $\mathcal{G}$ and show its equivalence to a direct sum of discrete many-particle Schr\"odinger type operators on what we call "$N$-particle graphs with maximal local occupation…
