Since the seminal work of P. Anderson in 1958, localization in disordered systems has been the object of intense investigations. Mathematically speaking, the phenomenon can be described as follows: the self-adjoint operators which are used as Hamiltonians for these systems have a ten- dency to have pure point spectrum, especially in low dimension or for large disorder. A lot of effort has been devoted to the mathematical study of the random self-adjoint operators relevant to the theory of localization for disordered systems. It is fair to say that progress has been made and that the un-...

Nowey's rainy day turns into an adventure as she heads off to explore the damp and misty forest. What is making those squealing, whooshing, and bleating sounds? Watch and listen.

What's that big lump in the tree? It can't be a fox. It must be something else, but what? Yikes What's that, bounding toward her? And what is that brilliant, tiny creature on the ground? How could she have never seen it before?

Find out why this woodland is so magical to Nowey.
