Simple examples of Lifschitz tails in Gaussian random magnetic fields (Q1588822): Difference between revisions

The author studies the asymptotic behavior of the integrated density of states \(N(\lambda)\) of the Schrödinger operator \(L(b_{\omega})\) with the magnetic field \(db_{\omega}\) at the infimum of the spectrum, where \[ L(b_{\omega})=\frac{1}{2}\sum_{j=1}^2\biggl(i\frac{\partial}{\partial x^j}-b^j_{\omega}(x)\biggr)^2,\quad i^2=-1, \] and \(b_{\omega}=\sum_{j=1}^2b^j_{\omega}(x)dx^j\) (\(\omega\in\Omega\), \(x\in \mathbb{R}^2\)) is a 1-form valued Gaussian random field on a probability space \(\Omega\) that is stationary and ergodic with respect to the shift in the variable \(x\in R^2\). In the paper the following two cases are considered: 1. \(b_{\omega}(x)=0\) and \(b^2_{\omega}(x)=g_{\omega}(x^1)\) depends only on the first coordinate; 2. \(b_{\omega}(x)=d^*f_{\omega}(x)\), where \(f_{\omega}(x)\) is a scalar valued Gaussian random field. The article is devoted to show that \(N(\lambda)\) decays exponentially in these two cases. To prove the main results the author uses the methods of \textit{A. L. Figotin} [Dokl. Akad. Nauk Ukr. SSR, Ser. A 1981, No. 6, 27-29 (1981; Zbl 0455.60052)] and \textit{W. Kirsch} and \textit{F. Martinelli} [Commun. Math. Phys. 89, 27-40 (1983; Zbl 0517.60071)].
