In this note, we review some results on localization and related properties for random Schrödinger operators arising in aperiodic media. These include the Anderson model associated to disordered quasicrystals and also the so-called Delone operators, operators associated to deterministic aperiodic structures.

Abstract We consider one-dimensional random Schrödinger operators with a background potential, arising in the inverse scattering problem. We study the influence of the background potential on the essential spectrum of the random Schrödinger operator and obtain Anderson localization for a larger class of one-dimensional Schrödinger operators. Further, we prove the existence of the integrated density of states and give a formula for it.

Abstract We prove that the density of states measure (DOSm) for random Schrödinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ is weak-$^{\ast }$ Hölder-continuous in the probability measure. The framework we develop is general enough to extend to a wide range of discrete, random operators, including the Anderson model on the Bethe lattice, as well as random Schrödinger operators on the strip. An immediate application of our main result provides quantitive continuity estimates for the disorder dependence of the DOSm and the integrated density of states (IDS) in the weak disorder regime. These results hold for a general compactly supported single-site probability measure, without any further assumptions. The few previously available results for the disorder dependence of the IDS valid for dimensions $d \geqslant 2$ assumed absolute continuity of the single-site measure and thus excluded the Bernoulli–Anderson model. As a further application of our main result, we establish quantitative continuity results for the Lyapunov exponent of random Schrödinger operators for $d=1$ in the probability measure with respect to the weak-$^{\ast }$ topology.

AbstractWe study discrete random Schrödinger operators via the supersymmetric formalism. We develop a cluster expansion that converges at both strong and weak disorder. We prove the exponential decay of the disorder-averaged Green’s function and the smoothness of the local density of states either at weak disorder and at energies in proximity of the unperturbed spectrum or at strong disorder and at any energy. As an application, we establish Lifshitz-tail-type estimates for the local density of states and thus localization at weak disorder.
