چکیده
Methods from scattering theory are introduced to analyze random Schrödinger operators in one dimension by applying a volume cutoff to the potential. The key ingredient is the Lifshitz-Krein spectral shift function, which is related to the scattering phase by the theorem of Birman and Krein. The spectral shift density is defined as the " thermodynamic limit " of the spectral shift function per unit length of the interaction region. This density is shown to be equal to the difference of the densities of states for the free and the interacting Hamiltonians. Based on this construction, we give a new proof of the Thouless formula. We provide a prescription how to obtain the Lyapunov exponent from the scattering matrix, which suggest a way how to extend this notion to the higher dimensional case. This prescription also allows a characterization of those energies which have vanishing Lyapunov exponent.

We consider Schrödinger operators in ℓ 2 (Z) whose potentials are obtained by randomly concatenating words from an underlying set W according to some probability measure ν on W. Our assumptions allow us to consider models with local correlations, such as the random dimer model or, more generally , random polymer models. We prove spectral localization and, away from a finite set of exceptional e...

In this article we give an overview on some recent development of Littlewood-Paley theory for Schrödinger operators. We extend the LittlewoodPaley theory for special potentials considered in the authors’ previous work. We elaborate our approach by considering potential in C∞ 0 or Schwartz class in one dimension. In particular the low energy estimates are treated by establishing some new and ref...

We consider a random family of Schrödinger operators on a cover X of a compact Riemannian manifold M = X/Γ. We present several results on their spectral theory, in particular almost sure constancy of the spectral components and existence and non-randomness of an integrated density of states. We also sketch a groupoid based general framework which allows to treat basic features of random operato...

In this paper we consider the Schrödinger operator in R 3 with a long-range magnetic potential associated to a magnetic field supported inside a torus T. Using the scheme of smooth perturbations we construct stationary modified wave operators and the corresponding scattering matrix S(λ). We prove that the essential spectrum of S(λ) is an interval of the unit circle depending only on the magneti...
