Analytical results of Typical Medium Theory for the Bethe lattice with Cauchy disorder

Abstract

We present a combined numerical and analytically tractable realization of the typical medium theory (TMT) for Anderson localization on the infinite-connectivity Bethe lattice with Cauchy-distributed on-site disorder. Exploiting the special properties of the Cauchy distribution and the Bethe lattice, we derive an analytical expression for the typical density of states (TDOS) and obtain a simplified TMT self-consistency scheme. We show that the TDOS at the band center decreases linearly with disorder strength and vanishes at the critical disorder $W_c=D/2$. The resulting $\omega$--$W$ phase diagram reveals the continuous collapse of the mobility edge and the disappearance of extended states.
