We discuss explicit landscape functions for quantum graphs. By a "landscape function" $\Upsilon(x)$ we mean a function that controls the localization properties of normalized eigenfunctions $\psi(x)$ through a pointwise inequality of the…
For a Hamiltonian ${\hat H}$ containing a position-dependent (disordered) potential, we introduce a sequence of landscape functions $u_n(\vec{r})$ obeying ${\hat H} u_n(\vec{r}) = u_{n-1}(\vec{r})$ with $u_0(\vec{r}) = 1$. For $n \to…
The localization landscape gives direct access to the localization of bottom-of-band eigenstates in non-interacting disordered systems. We generalize this approach to eigenstates at arbitrary energies in systems with or without internal…
Eigenfunctions in inhomogeneous media can have strong localization properties. Filoche \& Mayboroda showed that the function $u$ solving $(-\Delta + V)u = 1$ controls the behavior of eigenfunctions $(-\Delta + V)\phi = \lambda\phi$ via the…
Landscape functions are a popular tool used to provide upper bounds for eigenvectors of Schr\"odinger operators on domains. We review some known results obtained in the last ten years, unify several approaches used to achieve such bounds,…
We consider the localization of eigenfunctions for the operator $L=-\mbox{div} A \nabla + V$ on a Lipschitz domain $\Omega$ and, more generally, on manifolds with and without boundary. In earlier work, two authors of the present paper…
In the theory of Anderson localization, a landscape function predicts where wave functions localize in a disordered medium, without requiring the solution of an eigenvalue problem. It is known how to construct the localization landscape for…
We resolve both a conjecture and a problem of Z. Shen from the 90's regarding non-asymptotic bounds on the eigenvalue counting function of the magnetic Schr\"odinger operator $L_{{\bf a},V}=-(\nabla-i{\bf a})^2+V$ with a singular or…
In this article, we introduce and analyse some statistical properties of a class of models of random landscapes of the form ${\cal H}({\bf x})=\frac{\mu}{2}{\bf x}^2+\sum_{l=1}^M \phi_l({\bf k}_l\cdot {\bf x}), \, \, {\bf x}\in…
In this paper, we study 1-d random Schr\"odinger operators on a finite interval with Dirichlet boundary conditions. We are interested in the approximation of the ground state energy using the minimum of the effective potential. For the 1-d…
Landscape cosmology posits the existence of a convoluted, multidimensional, scalar potential -- the "landscape" -- with vast numbers of metastable minima. Random matrices and random functions in many dimensions provide toy models of the…
We consider the localization in the eigenfunctions of regular Sturm-Liouville operators. After deriving non-asymptotic and asymptotic lower and upper bounds on the localization coefficient of the eigenfunctions, we characterize the…
We study Anderson localisation on high-dimensional graphs with spatial structure induced by long-ranged but distance-dependent hopping. To this end, we introduce a class of models that interpolate between the short-range Anderson model on a…
We consider the 2D Hubbard model on the honeycomb lattice, as a model for single layer graphene with screened Coulomb interactions; at half filling and weak coupling, we construct its ground state correlations by a convergent multiscale…
We state a precise formulation of a conjecture concerning the product of the principal eigenvalue and the sup-norm of the landscape function of the Anderson model restricted to a large box. We first provide the asymptotic of the principal…
We consider the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ on a cube $M\subset \mathbb{Z}^d$, with periodic or Dirichlet (simple) boundary conditions. We use a hidden landscape function $u$, defined as the solution of an inhomogeneous…
Spectral properties of bounded linear operators play a crucial role in several areas of mathematics and physics. For each self-adjoint, trace-class operator $O$ we define a set $\Lambda_n\subset \mathbb{R}$, and we show that it converges to…
We consider two aspects of the ground state of the $U=\infty$ Hubbard ladder: ferromagnetism and the metal-insulator transition at quarter-filling. First, we present rigorous results for the $U=\infty$ Hubbard ladder in the limit of the…
We show how local bounded interactions in an unbounded Hamiltonian lead to eigenfunctions with favorable low-rank properties. To this end, we utilize ideas from quantum entanglement of multi-particle spin systems. We begin by analyzing the…
We study the phenomenon of "crowding" near the largest eigenvalue $\lambda_{\max}$ of random $N \times N$ matrices belonging to the Gaussian Unitary Ensemble (GUE) of random matrix theory. We focus on two distinct quantities: (i) the…
