Abstract
We present an exact analysis of two conductor-insulator transitions in the random graph model where low connectivity means high impurity concentration. The adjacency matrix of the random graph is used as a hopping Hamiltonian. We compute the height of the delta peak at zero energy in its spectrum exactly and describe analytically the structure and contribution of localized eigenvectors. The system is a conductor for average connectivities between and but an insulator in the other regimes. We explain the spectral singularity at average connectivity and relate it to other enumerative problems in random graph theory.
