Emergent fractal phase in energy stratified random models

We study the effects of partial correlations in kinetic hopping terms of long-range disordered random matrix models on their localization properties. We consider a set of models interpolating between fully-localized Richardson's model and the celebrated Rosenzweig-Porter model (with implemented translation-invariant symmetry). In order to do this, we propose the energy-stratified spectral structure of the hopping term allowing one to decrease the range of correlations gradually. We show both analytically and numerically that any deviation from the completely correlated case leads to the emergent non-ergodic delocalization in the system unlike the predictions of localization of cooperative shielding. In order to describe the models with correlated kinetic terms, we develop the generalization of the Dyson Brownian motion and cavity approaches basing on stochastic matrix process with independent rank-one matrix increments and examine its applicability to the above set of models.

Automated summary

This study investigates the effects of partial correlations in kinetic hopping terms of long-range disordered random matrix models on their localization properties. Both analytical and numerical analyses show that any deviation from the completely correlated case leads to emergent non-ergodic delocalization in the system. The study also develops a generalization of the Dyson Brownian motion and cavity approaches for models with correlated kinetic terms.
