Many-body localization on finite generation fractal lattices
arXiv:2111.13516 · doi:10.1088/1742-5468/ad4538
Abstract
We study many-body localization in a hardcore boson model in the presence of random disorder on finite generation fractal lattices with different Hausdorff dimensions and different local lattice structures. In particular, we consider the Vicsek, T-shaped, Sierpinski gasket, and modified Koch-curve fractal lattices. In the single-particle case, these systems display Anderson localization for arbitrary disorder strength if they are large enough. In the many-body case, the systems available to exact diagonalization exhibit a transition between a delocalized and localized regime, visible in the spectral and entanglement properties of these systems. The position of this transition depends on the Hausdorff dimension of the given fractal, as well as on its local structure.
