Abstract
We construct a dynamical field theory for noninteracting Brownian particles in the presence of a quenched Gaussian random potential. The main variable for the field theory is the density fluctuation which measures the difference between the local density and its average value. The average density is spatially inhomogeneous for given realization of the random potential. It becomes uniform only after averaged over the disorder configurations. We develop the diagrammatic perturbation theory for the density correlation function and calculate the zero-frequency component of the response function exactly by summing all the diagrams contributing to it. From this exact result and the fluctuation dissipation relation, which holds in an equilibrium dynamics, we find that the connected density correlation function always decays to zero in the long-time limit for all values of disorder strength implying that the system always remains ergodic. This nonperturbative calculation relies on the simple diagrammatic structure of the present field theoretical scheme. We compare in detail our diagrammatic perturbation theory with the one used in a recent paper [B.\ Kim, M.\ Fuchs and V.\ Krakoviack, J.\ Stat.\ Mech.\ (2020) 023301], which uses the density fluctuation around the uniform average, and discuss the difference in the diagrammatic structures of the two formulations.
