Abstract

For a Dirac particle in one dimension with random mass, the time evolution for the average wavefunction is considered. Using the supersymmetric representation of the average Green’s function, we derive a fourth order linear difference equation for the low-energy asymptotics of the average wavefunction. This equation is of Poincar´e type, though highly critical and therefore not amenable to standard methods. In this paper we show that, nevertheless, asymptotic expansions of its solutions can be obtained.
