Abstract

After a short discussion of various random Bogoliubov-de Gennes (BdG) model operators and the associated physics, the Aizenman-Molchanov method is applied to prove Anderson localization in the weak disorder regime for the spectrum in the central gap. This allows to construct random BdG operators which have localized states in an interval centered at zero energy. Furthermore, techniques for the calculation of Chern numbers are reviewed and applied to two non-trivial BdG operators, the p+ıp wave and d+ıd wave superconductors.
