Localization in a strongly disordered system: A perturbation approach

Abstract

We prove that a strongly disordered two-dimensional system localizes with a localization length given analytically. We get a scaling law with a critical exponent is $\nu =1$ in agreement with the Chayes criterion $\nu \ge 1$. The case we are considering is for off-diagonal disorder. The method we use is a perturbation approach holding in the limit of an infinitely large perturbation as recently devised and the Anderson model is considered with a Gaussian distribution of disorder. The localization length diverges when energy goes to zero with a scaling law in agreement to numerical and theoretical expectations.
