Drastic fall-off of the thermal conductivity for disordered lattices in the limit of weak anharmonic interactions

Résumé

We study the thermal conductivity, at fixed positive temperature, of a disordered lattice of harmonic oscillators, weakly coupled to each other through anharmonic potentials. The interaction is controlled by a small parameter $\epsilon > 0$. We rigorously show, in two slightly different setups, that the conductivity has a non-perturbative origin. This means that it decays to zero faster than any polynomial in $\epsilon$ as $\epsilon \rightarrow 0$. It is then argued that this result extends to a disordered chain studied by Dhar and Lebowitz, and to a classical spins chain recently investigated by Oganesyan, Pal and Huse.
