Abstract: The characteristic polynomials of block tridiagonal matrices and their transfer matrices are linked by an algebraic duality. I discuss applications to randomtridiagonal matrices, and the Anderson localization problem.
AN ALGEBRAIC DUALITY FOR DETERMINANTS
and applications
Pisa, may 2011
Some questions:1) Det of block tridiag matrix ?2) Localization of eigenvector and eigenvalue sensitivity to b.c. ?3) Localization of eigenvectors in BRM and Anderson model ?
block tridiagonal matrices

THE BLOCK TRIDIAG MATRIX
In general: chain of n ”m-level atoms” with n.n. interactions
THE TRANSFER MATRIX
Eigenvalues of T(E) grow (decay) exponentially in the number of blocks.The rates are the exponents ξ_a(E)
SPECTRAL DUALITY
z^n is an eigenvalue of T(E) iff
E is eigenvalue of H(z^n)
A useful similarity

THE ANDERSON MODEL
● d=1,2: p.p. spectrum, exponential localization
● d=3: a.c. to p.p. spectrum, metal-insulator transition
● QUANTUM CHAOS: dynamical localization
● - sound - light - matter waves

Anderson Localization
● Theorems (Spencer, Ishii, Pastur, …) ● Kubo formula weak disorder (Stone, Altshuler, ...)● Energy levels and b.c. (Thouless, Hatano & Nelson, level curvatures, ... )● Transfer matrix and Lyap spectrum scaling (Kramer&MacKinnon), DMPK eq., conductance &scattering (Buttiker and Landauer),... ● Supersymmetry, BRM (Efetov, Fyodorov & Mirlin)
