Proposal: DMS-9706443 PI: Svetlana Jitomirskaya This research involves localization type effects for Schrodinger operators and for quantum spin systems, percolation, and contact processes in disordered environments, and the general study of spectra and wave functions of Schrodinger operators. The main objective is to develop methods of proving localization type effects for Schrodinger operators with deterministic potentials. The other goal is to study the relation between spectral and quantum-dynamical properties and long time behavior as they relate to generalized eigenfunctions, particularly in the multidimensional case. Another goal of the proposed research is to study singular continuous spectrum that exhibits critical behavior, particularly for models where it appears for critical values (or intervals) of the parameters. The proposed research is centered around the fundamental properties of disordered systems that serve as models of systems with impurities. Impurities can substantially change various properties of the media and can thus be used to create materials with desired properties. In just this way transistors are made of materials with impurities. Disordered systems are also used in modeling many micro and macro effects: from quantum localization to earthquakes. The proposed topics include studying properties of highly disordered systems of Quantum Mechanics and of systems at critical levels of disorder that demonstrate highly unstable behavior.

提案：DMS-9706443 PI：Svetlana Jitomirskaya 这项研究涉及薛定谔算子和量子自旋系统的局域型效应、无序环境中的渗流和接触过程，以及薛定谔算子的光谱和波函数的一般研究。主要目标是开发证明具有确定性潜力的薛定谔算子的定位类型效应的方法。 另一个目标是研究光谱和量子动力学特性与长期行为之间的关系，因为它们与广义本征函数相关，特别是在多维情况下。 拟议研究的另一个目标是研究表现出临界行为的奇异连续谱，特别是对于参数临界值（或区间）出现的模型。 拟议的研究以无序系统的基本特性为中心，这些无序系统可作为含杂质系统的模型。 杂质可以显着改变介质的各种特性，因此可以用来制造具有所需特性的材料。 正是通过这种方式，晶体管是由含有杂质的材料制成的。无序系统还用于模拟许多微观和宏观效应：从量子局域化到地震。拟议的主题包括研究量子力学高度无序系统的特性以及表现出高度不稳定行为的处于临界无序水平的系统的特性。
