  "abstract": "We study the density of states of two-dimensional electron gas in magnetic field with scattering on point-like impurities that are uniformly distributed along the sample. We show that the electron-impurity interaction completely lifts the degeneracy of the Landau levels even at low impurity concentration. This statement is in contradiction with the previous results obtained in the unphysical approximation of two-dimensional impurities. There is a large region of the electron energy $\\omega $, counted from the Landau level, where the density of states $\\rho (\\omega)$ is inversely proportional to $|\\omega|$ and proportional to the impurity concentration. Our results are applicable to different 2D electron systems as heterostructures, inversion layers and interfaces.",
