Conductivity and the current-current correlation measure

Abstract

We review various formulations of conductivity for one-particle Hamiltonians and relate them to the current-current correlation measure. We prove that the current-current correlation measure for random Schr\"odinger operators has a density at coincident energies provided the energy lies in a localization regime. The density vanishes at such energies and an upper bound on the rate of vanishing is computed. We also relate the current-current correlation measure to the localization length.
