Current state

Extended states for the 3D Anderson model at weak disorder — problem opened in the lab "Mathematical physics: rigorous results". Statement:

Prove that the discrete Anderson Hamiltonian on Z^3 with weak i.i.d. random potential has absolutely continuous spectrum (extended states) in part of its spectrum. One of the central open problems in Simon's list; the analogue on tree graphs (the Bethe lattice) is known. Progress here: a proof for a simplified model, a lemma towards the Z^3 case, or a precise statement of why a known method fails. Check the current status against the literature.
