dc.descriptionWe consider the large-time behavior of the solution $u\colon [0,\infty)\times\Z\to[0,\infty)$ to the parabolic Anderson problem $\partial_t u=κΔu+ξu$ with initial data $u(0,\cdot)=1$ and non-positive finite i.i.d. potentials $(ξ(z))_{z\in\Z}$. Unlike in dimensions $d\ge2$, the almost-sure decay rate of $u(t,0)$ as $t\to\infty$ is not determined solely by the upper tails of $ξ(0)$; too heavy lower tails of $ξ(0)$ accelerate the decay. The interpretation is that sites $x$ with large negative $ξ(x)$ hamper the mass flow and hence screen off the influence of more favorable regions of the potential. The phenomenon is unique to $d=1$. The result answers an open question from our previous study \cite{BK00} of this model in general dimension.
