Supersymmetric cluster expansions and applications to random Schrödinger operators (Q830509)

The author considers discrete random Schrödinger operators via the supersymmetric formalism, developing a cluster expansion that converges at both strong and weak disorder. He proves that the exponential decay of the disorder-averaged Green's function and the smoothness of the local density of states either at weak disorder and at energies in proximity of the unperturbed spectrum or at strong disorder and at any energy. As an application, the author establishes Lifshitz-tail-type estimates for the local density of states and thus localization at weak disorder.
