We consider (AlAs)_n/(GaAs)_n superlattices with random thickness fluctuations Delta-n around the nominal period n. Using three-dimensional pseudopotential plane-wave band theory, we show that (i) any amount Delta-n/n of thickness…
This article is devoted to the study of the behaviour of a (1+1)-dimensional model of random walk conditioned to enclose an area of order $N^2$. Such a conditioning enforces a globally concave trajectory. We study the local deviations of…
We describe the statistical properties of light rays propagating though a random sea of gravity waves and compare with the case for scalar metric perturbations from density inhomogeneities. For scalar fluctuations the deflection angle grows…
We consider random $d$-regular graphs on $N$ vertices, with degree $d$ at least $(\log N)^4$. We prove that the Green's function of the adjacency matrix and the Stieltjes transform of its empirical spectral measure are well approximated by…

We prove localization (near the bottom of the spectrum) for certain non-stationary variants of the Anderson model in three dimensions. More specifically, we prove a Wegner estimate, which implies localization by existing work. Two key…
Mott variable range hopping is a fundamental mechanism for low-temperature electron conduction in disordered solids in the regime of Anderson localization. In a mean field approximation, it reduces to a random walk (shortly, Mott random…
We study, both experimentally and numerically, the Anderson localization phenomenon in torsional waves of a disordered elastic rod, which consists of a cylinder with randomly spaced notches. We find that the normal-mode wave amplitudes are…
We consider random walk on a mildly random environment on finite transitive d- regular graphs of increasing girth. After scaling and centering, the analytic spectrum of the transition matrix converges in distribution to a Gaussian noise. An…
The construction of exponentially localized Wannier functions for a set of bands requires a choice of Bloch-like functions that span the space of the bands in question, and are smooth and periodic functions of k in the entire Brillouin…

A technically convenient signature of localization, exhibited by discrete operators with random potentials, is exponential decay of the fractional moments of the Green function within the appropriate energy ranges. Known implications…
In this paper, we investigate the variance of the nodal length for band-limited spherical random waves. When the frequency window includes a number of eigenfunctions that grows linearly, the variance of the nodal length is linear with…
We consider a full rank deformation of the GUE $W_N+A_N$ where $A_N$ is a full rank Hermitian matrix of size $N$ and $W_N$ is a GUE. The empirical eigenvalue distribution $\mu_{A_N}$ of $A_N$ converges to a probability distribution $\nu$.…
