Schrödinger Operators with Potentials Generated by Hyperbolic Transformations: II. Large Deviations and Anderson Localization

Abstract: We consider discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by H\"older continuous sampling along the orbits of a uniformly hyperbolic transformation. For any ergodic measure satisfying a suitable bounded distortion property, we establish a uniform large deviation estimate in a large energy region provided that the sampling function is locally constant or has small supremum norm. We also prove full spectral Anderson localization for the operators in question.
