Abstract
We derive and study an effective spin model that explains the anomalous spin dynamics in the one-dimensional Hubbard model with strong potential disorder. Assuming that charges are localized, we show that spins are delocalized and their subdiffusive transport originates from a singular random distribution of spin exchange interactions. The exponent relevant for the subdiffusion is determined by the Anderson localization length and the density of the electrons. Although the analytical derivations are valid for low particle density, numerical results for the full model reveal a qualitative agreement up to half filling.
