ABSTRACT We analyse the spectral phase diagram of Schr\"odinger operators $T +\lambda V$ on regular tree graphs, with $T$ the graph adjacency operator and $V$ a
random potential given by iid random variables. The main result is a criterion
for the emergence of absolutely continuous (ac) spectrum due to
fluctuation-enabled resonances between distant sites. Using it we prove that
for unbounded random potentials ac spectrum appears at arbitrarily weak
disorder $(\lambda \ll 1)$ in an energy regime which extends beyond the
spectrum of $T$. Incorporating considerations of the Green function's large
deviations we obtain an extension of the criterion which indicates that, under
a yet unproven regularity condition of the large deviations' 'free energy
function', the regime of pure ac spectrum is complementary to that of
previously proven localization. For bounded potentials we disprove the
existence at weak disorder of a mobility edge beyond which the spectrum is
localized.

##### Article: Weak Disorder Expansion for the Anderson Model on a Tree
[hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: We show how certain properties of the Anderson model on a tree are related to the solutions of a non-linear integral equation. Whether the wave function is extended or localized, for example, corresponds to whether or not the equation has a complex solution. We show how the equation can be solved in a weak disorder expansion. We find that, for small disorder strength $\lambda$, there is an energy $E_c(\lambda )$ above which the density of states and the conducting properties vanish to all orders in perturbation theory. We compute perturbatively the position of the line $E_c(\lambda )$ which begins, in the limit of zero disorder, at the band edge of the pure system. Inside the band of the pure system the density of states and conducting properties can be computed perturbatively. This expansion breaks down near $E_c(\lambda )$ because of small denominators. We show how it can be resummed by choosing the appropriate scaling of the energy. For energies greater than $E_c(\lambda )$ we show that non-perturbative effects contribute to the density of states but have been unable tell whether they also contribute to the conducting properties.
