Abstract: | Consider the Cauchy problem ∂u(x, t)/∂t = ℋu(x, t) (x∈ℤd, t≥ 0) with initial condition u(x, 0) ≡ 1 and with ℋ the Anderson Hamiltonian ℋ = κΔ + ξ. Here Δ is the discrete Laplacian, κ∈ (0, ∞) is a diffusion constant,
and ξ = {ξ(x): x∈ℤ
d
} is an i.i.d.random field taking values in ℝ. G?rtner and Molchanov (1990) have shown that if the law of ξ(0) is nondegenerate,
then the solution u is asymptotically intermittent.
In the present paper we study the structure of the intermittent peaks for the special case where the law of ξ(0) is (in the
vicinity of) the double exponential Prob(ξ(0) > s) = exp−e
s
/θ] (s∈ℝ). Here θ∈ (0, ∞) is a parameter that can be thought of as measuring the degree of disorder in the ξ-field. Our main result
is that, for fixed x, y∈ℤ
d
and t→∈, the correlation coefficient of u(x, t) and u(y, t) converges to ∥w

It turns out that if the right tail of the law of ξ(0) is thicker (or thinner) than the double exponential, then the correlation
coefficient of u(x, t) and u(y, t) converges to δ
x, y
(resp.the constant function 1). Thus, the double exponential family is the critical class exhibiting a nondegenerate correlation
structure.
