Lifshitz tails for Schrödinger operators with random breather potential (Q1690941)

Random breather potentials have been thoroughly studied before in the context of the Lifshitz asymptotics of the integrated density of states and localization for random Hamiltonian models. That ranges back to the classic papers by \textit{W. Kirsch} and \textit{F. Martinelli} [Commun. Math. Phys. 89, 27--40 (1983; Zbl 0517.60071)] and \textit{B. Simon} [``Lifschitz tails for the Anderson model'', J. Stat. Phys. 38, 65--76 (1985)]. The present paper provides an improvement (to be viewed as an alternative version) of the previously published result [\textit{W. Kirsch} and the second author, Lett. Math. Phys. 94, No. 1, 27--39 (2010; Zbl 1198.35064)]. A Lifshitz tail bound is proved on the IDS of random Schrödinger operators with breather potentials. The proof relies on the perturbation bound (Thirring inequality), whose proof via the projection method is detailed in an expanded companion paper (yet unpublished) on Anderson localisation and Lifshitz asymptotics for monotone random breather potentials.
