Gravitational Anderson localization.
نویسنده
چکیده
We present a higher dimensional model where gravity is bound to a brane due to Anderson localization. The extra dimensions are taken to be a disordered crystal of branes, with randomly distributed tensions of order the fundamental scale. Such geometries bind the graviton and thus allow for arbitrarily large extra dimensions even when the curvature is small. Thus this model is quite distinct from that of Randall and Sundrum where localization is a consequence of curvature effects in the bulk. The hierarchy problem can be solved by having the standard model brane live a distance away from the brane on which the graviton is localized. The statistical properties of the system are worked out and it is shown that the scenario leads to a continuum of four dimensional theories with differing strengths of gravitational interactions. We live on one particular brane whose gravitational constant is G(N).

We discuss the Anderson localization of electromagnetic fields in the fluctuating plasma induced by the gravitational density perturbation before the recombination time of the Universe. Randomly distributed localized coherent electromagnetic fields emerge in the thermal equilibrium before the recombination time. We argue that the localized coherent electric fields eventually produce cosmologica...

In the present paper, we calculate the effect of disorder on the density of states and localization of eigenstates of zigzag and armchair nano-ribbons. Both Anderson disorder model and quantom percolation are considered. The eigenstates of the disordered hamiltonian is calculated in a tight–binding approximation and the localization of eigenstates are characterized using the inverse participati...
متن کاملTriangulation of gravitational wave sources with a network of detectors
There is significant benefit to be gained by pursuing multi-messenger astronomy with gravitational wave and electromagnetic observations. In order to undertake electromagnetic follow-ups of gravitational wave signals, it will be necessary to accurately localize them in the sky. Since gravitational wave detectors are not inherently pointing instruments, localization will occur primarily through ...
متن کاملAbsence of Anderson localization of light in a random ensemble of point scatterers.
As discovered by Philip Anderson in 1958, strong disorder can block propagation of waves and lead to the localization of wavelike excitations in space. Anderson localization of light is particularly exciting in view of its possible applications for random lasing or quantum information processing. We show that, surprisingly, Anderson localization of light cannot be achieved in a random three-dim...
متن کاملExperimental Observation of Two-Dimensional Anderson Localization with the Atomic Kicked Rotor.
Dimension 2 is expected to be the lower critical dimension for Anderson localization in a time-reversal-invariant disordered quantum system. Using an atomic quasiperiodic kicked rotor-equivalent to a two-dimensional Anderson-like model-we experimentally study Anderson localization in dimension 2 and we observe localized wave function dynamics. We also show that the localization length depends e...
