First we consider a pair of operators which differ by a compactly supported potential, as well as the corresponding semigroups. We prove almost exponential decay of the singular values $\\mu_n$ of the difference of the semigroups as $n\\to \\infty$ and deduce bounds on the spectral shift function of the pair of operators. Thereafter we consider alloy type random Schr\\\"odinger operators. The single site potential $u$ is assumed to be non-negative and of compact support. The distributions of the random coupling constants are assumed to be H\\\"older continuous. Based on the estimates for the spectral shift function, we prove a Wegner estimate which implies H\\\"older continuity of the integrated density of states.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-12-21T22:41:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "35J10", "81Q10" ], "keywords": [ "spectral shift function", "alloy type random", "single site potential", "semigroups", "exponential decay" ], "publication": { "doi": "10.1007/s00220-005-1460-0", "journal": "Communications in Mathematical Physics", "year": 2006, "month": "Mar", "volume": 262, "number": 2, "pages": 489 }, "note": { "typesetting": "LaTeX", "pages": 15, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2006CMaPh.262..489H" } } }
