4. Disorder—Results and Limiting Cases<br />

Concordance with Goldstone theorem<br />

It is important to notice that the relative correction <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> dispersion<br />

relation (4.14) has been found to be finite for any value <strong>of</strong> kσ and<br />

in any dimension. That means, it is indeed possible to cast ReΣ into a<br />

correction <strong>of</strong> the speed <strong>of</strong> sound, ck + ReΣ = c ′ k. The spectrum remains<br />

gapless. This is a necessity, because disorder does not affect the U(1) symmetry<br />

<strong>of</strong> the (quasi)condensate condensate and the <strong>Bogoliubov</strong> excitations<br />

must remain gapless Goldstone modes [72].<br />

4.1.4. Density <strong>of</strong> states<br />

In the present sound-wave regime, phase velocity and group velocity coincide.<br />

Thus the average density <strong>of</strong> states (3.67) reduces to [115]<br />

with ρ0(ω) = Sd(2πc) −d ω d−1 . Similarly to [127], we consider the scaling<br />

function gd(ωσ/c) = ρ(ω)/ρ0(ω) − 1, which is computed from the correction<br />

(4.14) <strong>of</strong> the speed <strong>of</strong> sound shown in figure 4.4(b). The limiting values from<br />

(4.19) translate to<br />

Gurarie and Altland [127] suggested that one should be able to deduce from<br />

the asymptotic values and the curvatures <strong>of</strong> this scaling function whether the<br />

average density <strong>of</strong> state exhibits a “boson peak” at intermediate frequency<br />

ω ≈ c/σ. The asymptotics <strong>of</strong> the scaling function in our case allow for a<br />

smooth, monotonic transition between the limiting values in any dimension<br />

d. Thus one has no reason to expect any extrema in-between.<br />

In figure 4.5(a), numerical results <strong>of</strong> the full scaling function (4.22), derived<br />

from the speed-<strong>of</strong>-sound correction Λ due to speckle disorder, are<br />

shown. In three dimensions, the scaling function is indeed smooth and<br />

monotonic.<br />

In one dimension, however, the scaling function shows a strikingly nonmonotonic<br />

behavior. Using (4.15) and (4.22), we can write down this func-<br />

tion analytically<br />
