Extended states for the Random Schrödinger operator on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ ($d\geq 5$) with decaying Bernoulli potential (2505.04077v1)
Abstract: In this paper, we investigate the delocalization property of the discrete Schr\"odinger operator $H_\omega=-\Delta+v_n\omega_n\delta_{n,n'}$, where $v_n=\kappa |n|{-\alpha}$ and $\omega={\omega_n}{n\in\mathbb{Z}d}\in {\pm 1}{\mathbb{Z}d}$ is a sequence of i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables. Under the assumptions of $d\geq 5$, $\alpha>\frac14$ and $0<\kappa\ll1$, we construct the extended states for a deterministic renormalization of $H\omega$ for most $\omega$. This extends the work of Bourgain [{\it Geometric Aspects of Functional Analysis}, LNM 1807: 70--98, 2003], where the case $\alpha>\frac13$ was handled. Our proof is based on Green's function estimates via a $6$th-order renormalization scheme. Among the main new ingredients are the proof of a generalized Khintchine inequality via Bonami's lemma, and the application of the fractional Gagliardo-Nirenberg inequality to control a new type of non-random operators arising from the $6$th-order renormalization.
