Randomness-Assisted Exponential Hierarchies
arXiv:2001.07221 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.015001
Abstract
Inspired by the localization phenomenon in condensed matter systems, we explore constructions in the theory space of multiple scalar fields, in which exponentially suppressed couplings could originate from random parameters. In particular, we find a new class of non-local theory space models, in which scalar fields at non-adjacent sites interact with each other but with strengths decaying exponentially with the site separation. Such a model could have very different localization properties, compared to the local theory space scenarios with only nearest-site interactions, based on the original Anderson localization model. More specifically, we find that a particular non-local interaction pattern leads to bi-localization of the two lightest eigenstates. Exponential localization (and thus exponentially suppressed couplings) then emerges only and immediately when randomness is introduced, no matter how tiny it is. We discuss variants of the model and possible UV completions as well.
