Arbitrarily Fast Quantum Dispersion in Long-Range Crystals
Abstract
We construct the first examples of long-range crystals exhibiting arbitrarily fast polynomial quantum dispersion. The Floquet functions of our Hamiltonians are highly oscillatory Weierstrass functions, whose rough autosimilar structure drives the fast dispersion. The proof develops a new Fourier decay theory for $C^\alpha$ images of Lebesgue measure, based on a Dolgopyat-inspired transfer operator method, and yields a van der Corput lemma for Weierstrass functions. As a consequence, the local time of classical Weierstrass functions of sufficiently large lacunarity exists and is $C^k$, answering a question raised by Geman and Horowitz in 1980.
