Scale-free uncertainty principles and Wegner estimates for random breather potentials

Abstract

We present new scale-free quantitative unique continuation principles for Schrödinger operators. They apply to linear combinations of eigenfunctions corresponding to eigenvalues below a prescribed energy, and can be formulated as an uncertainty principle for spectral projectors. This extends recent results of Rojas-Molina & Veselić, and Klein. We apply the scale-free unique continuation principle to obtain a Wegner estimate for a random Schrödinger operator of breather type. It holds for arbitrarily high energies. Schrödinger operators with random breather potentials have a non-linear dependence on random variables. We explain the challenges arising from this non-linear dependence.
