%0 Journal Article %T The spectrum of the random environment and localization of noise %A Dimitrios Cheliotis %A Balint Virag %J Mathematics %D 2008 %I arXiv %R 10.1007/s00440-009-0225-7 %X We consider random walk on a mildly random environment on finite transitive d- regular graphs of increasing girth. After scaling and centering, the analytic spectrum of the transition matrix converges in distribution to a Gaussian noise. An interesting phenomenon occurs at d = 2: as the limit graph changes from a regular tree to the integers, the noise becomes localized. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0804.4814v1
