We consider a general class of $n\times n$ random band matrices with bandwidth $W$. When $W^2\ll n$, we prove that with high probability the eigenvectors of such matrices are localized and decay exponentially at the sharp scale $W^2$.…
We show the eigenvectors of a Gaussian random band matrix are localized when the band width is less than the 1/4 power of the matrix size. Our argument is essentially an optimized version of Schenker's proof of the 1/8 exponent.
We prove spectral and dynamical localization for Anderson models on locally finite graphs using the fractional moment method. Our theorems extend earlier results on localization for the Anderson model on $\ZZ^d$. We establish geometric…

We survey recent mathematical results about the spectrum of random band matrices. We start by exposing the Erd{\H o}s-Schlein-Yau dynamic approach, its application to Wigner matrices, and extension to other mean-field models. We then…
We study spectra and localization properties of Euclidean random matrices. The problem is approximately mapped onto that of a matrix defined on a random graph. We introduce a powerful method to find the density of states and the…
We study the three-dimensional two-band Anderson model of localization and compare our results to experimental results for amorphous metallic alloys (AMA). Using the transfer-matrix method, we identify and characterize the metal-insulator…
Anderson localization predicts that wave spreading in disordered lattices can come to a complete halt, providing a universal mechanism for {dynamical localization}. In the one-dimensional Hermitian Anderson model with uncorrelated diagonal…
