The generalized Lyapunov exponent for the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with Cauchy disorder: some exact results

Alain Comtet, Christophe Texier, Yves Tourigny

We consider the one-dimensional Schrödinger equation with a random potential and study the cumulant generating function of the logarithm of the wave function , known in the l…

Last-passage time for linear diffusions and application to the emptying time of a box

Alain Comtet, Françoise Cornu, Gregory Schehr

We study the statistics of last-passage time for linear diffusions. First we present an elementary derivation of the Laplace transform of the probability density of the last-passag…

Comment on "Effective confining potential of quantum states in disordered media"

Alain Comtet, Christophe Texier

We provide some analytical tests of the density of states estimation from the "localization landscape" approach of Ref. [Phys. Rev. Lett. 116, 056602 (2016)]. We consider two diffe…

Representation theory and products of random matrices in

Alain Comtet, Christophe Texier, Yves Tourigny

The statistical behaviour of a product of independent, identically distributed random matrices in is encoded in the generalised Lyapunov exponent ; th…

Impurity models and products of random matrices

Alain Comtet, Yves Tourigny

This is an introduction to the theory of one-dimensional disordered systems and products of random matrices, confined to the 2 by 2 case. The notion of impurity model--- that is, a…

On certain functionals of the maximum of Brownian motion and their applications

Anthony Perret, Alain Comtet, Satya N. Majumdar +1

We consider a Brownian motion (BM) and its maximal value on a fixed time interval . We study functionals of the maximum of the…
