The mobility gap regime

Via Combes-Thomas, S1 = σ(U(1)) implies that h(U(1))xy decays in x − y for h holomorphic. This off-diagonal decay is apparently all we need for a well-defined topological phase.

The mobility gap regime

Via Combes-Thomas, S1 = σ(U(1)) implies that h(U(1))xy decays in x − y for h holomorphic. This off-diagonal decay is apparently all we need for a well-defined topological phase. Hamza, Joye, Stolz (2009) e.g. prove that certain random unitary ops. have dyn. loc. We assume the a.-s. results of loc. deterministically, i.e. we assume that ∃µ > 0 s.t. for any ε > 0 ∃Cε < ∞ with sup

g∈B1(∆)

g(U(1))xy ≤ Cε e−µx−y+εx with B1(∆) the set of Borel bdd. maps |g| ≤ 1 constant outside of ∆ ⊆ S1, which is called the mobility gap. Implies spectral localization in ∆ via RAGE.

Main point over [GT18]: Use loc. instead of Combes-Thomas to get (weak) locality of log(U(1)); then generalize all notions from uniform decay in x − y to allow possible explosion in x simultaneously, which we call weakly-local operators: Axy ≤ Cε e−µx−y+εx.

The completely localization case

Let V : [0, 1] → U(H) be some bulk evolution s.t. V (1) is completely localized, in the sense that it obeys a det. dyn. loc. estimate on S1 except some finitely many special points; we ask that the Chern ♯
