Localization properties of the random XXZ spin chain

Mathematical Physics Seminar

Speaker: Alex Elgart, Virginia Tech
Location: 3024 QMAP
Start time: Thu, Sep 19 2024, 11:00AM

We will discuss the spectral and dynamical properties of the random Heisenberg XXZ spin-chain in arbitrary (but system-size independent) energy intervals. Our results include the almost sure exponential decay of Green functions and eigen-correlators associated with the underlying Hamiltonian, as well as spectral localization for the infinite spin-chain.   Based on joint works with Abel Klein.
