Anderson localization and ergodic transitions in the log-normal Rosenzweig-Porter  random matrix ensemble
Date/Time: 12:10 18-Oct-2019
Abstract:
It has been recently shown [1] that the $N*N$ generalized Rosenzweig-Porter random matrix model [2] can be in three distinctly different phases: ergodic, fractal and localized, depending on the scaling parameter \gamma in the variance $N^{-\gamma}$ of the i.i.d. Gaussian off-diagonal matrix elements.  Several models of disordered systems can be reduced to the logarithmically-normal  Rosenzweig-Porter ensemble in which i.i.d. off-diagonal matrix elements  have a log-normal distribution with the variance proportional to $\ln N$, while the diagonal matrix elements remain Gaussian distributed with the variance 1. In this case the typical and the averaged values of off-diagonal matrix elements have different scaling with $N$. In the present work we address the question how the tailed distributions of this type alter the phases and phase transitions in the eigenvector statistics.
