Non-Hermitean Localization and De-Localization
Joshua Feinberg, A. Zee
Abstract
We study localization and delocalization in a class of non-hermitean Hamiltonians inspired by the problem of vortex pinning in superconductors. In various simplified models we are able to obtain analytic descriptions, in particular of the non-perturbative emergence of a forked structure (the appearance of "wings") in the density of states. We calculate how the localization length diverges at the localization-delocalization transition. We map some versions of this problem onto a random walker problem in two dimensions. For a certain model, we find an intricate structure in its density of states.
