49 Impurity potential Incorporate disorder by randomization of ω : Impurity Potential V ω (x) = i Z d q i (ω) f (x i), ω i [0, 1] random numbers, ω [0, 1] Zd, q i : [0, 1] Zd R, q i (ω) = V max ω i.
50 Probability space We have just statistical knowledge about the impurities model in probabilistic language. Let ω = (ω n ) Z d be a set of independent, identically distributed random variables with single site distribution p. The probability space is given by the product space Ω = [0, 1] Zd with the usual product σ-algebra. The probability measure on Ω is the product measure P = Z d p From now on we are not interested in properties of H ω for a single ω rather in properties that hold for P-almost all ω.

73 Consider the Dirichlet Problem: f H 1 (Ω) Lu = f, u H 1 (Ω). Green function L x G(x, y) = δ y (x), x, yω, G(., y) H 1 (Ω), y Ω, R n L x G(x, y)v(x)dx = v(y), for y Ω, v H 1 (Ω).

75 Filoche and Mayboroda did the following Observation: Let λ be an eigenvalue of L, φ H 1 (Ω) corresponding eigenfunction. φ(x) = δ x (y)φ(y)dy Ω = L y G(x, y)φ(y)dy Ω = G(x, y)l y φ(y)dy Ω = λ G(x, y)φ(y)dy Ω
76 Filoche and Mayboroda did the following Observation: Let λ be an eigenvalue of L, φ H 1 (Ω) corresponding eigenfunction. φ(x) = δ x (y)φ(y)dy Ω = L y G(x, y)φ(y)dy Ω = G(x, y)l y φ(y)dy Ω = λ G(x, y)φ(y)dy Ω
77 Green function positive, λ 0, eigenfunctions bounded. φ(x) λ φ L (Ω) G(x, y)dy define φ(x) φ L (Ω) Ω λ G(x, y)dy Ω u(x) = G(x, y)dy. Ω
78 φ(x) φ L (Ω) λu(x) This inequality provides a map of localization in the following sense.

80 Plotting of the function u, V max = 10000
81 First cut of u, compared with the first eigenfunction
82 second cut of u, compared with the second eigenfunction
83 3rd cut of u, compared with the 3rd eigenfunction
84 3th cut of u, compared with the 4th eigenfunction
85 φ(x) φ L (Ω) λu(x) u controls the eigenfunctions as long as λu(x) 1. For higher eigenvalues weaker control is achieved.
