Abstract
We study effects of local electron interactions on the persistent current of one dimensional disordered rings. For different
realizations of disorder we compute the ensemble average current as a function of Aharonov-Bohm flux to zeroth and first orders
in the Hubbard interaction. We find that the persistent current is enhanced by on site interactions. Using an avoided level crossings approach, we derive analytic formulas which explain the numerical
results at weak disorder. The same approach also explains the opposite effect (suppression) found for spinless fermion models
with intersite interactions.
