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 />
