A variery of heuristic arguments suggest that no eigenfunction can decay faster than at this rate. We make a step towards this conjecture by showing that, for each eigenfunction, the rate of exponential decay along any subsequence is strictly slower than the fastest Lyapunov exponent, and that there exists a subsequence along which it is equal to the slowest Lyapunov exponent.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2020-12-05T12:16:44.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "lower bounds", "anderson-localised eigenfunctions", "slowest lyapunov exponent", "fastest lyapunov exponent", "heuristic arguments" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 19, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
