Lifschitz tail for alloy-type models driven by the fractional Laplacian

Abstract: We establish precise asymptotics near zero of the integrated density of states for the random Schr"{o}dinger operators

(- D e l t a)^{a l p h a / 2} + V^{o m e g a}

in

L^{2} (m a t h b b R^{d})

for the full range of

a l p h a i n (0, 2]

and a fairly large class of random nonnegative alloy-type potentials

V^{o m e g a}

. The IDS exhibits the Lifschitz tail singularity. We prove the existence of the limit

lim_{s o 0} s^{d/alpha}lnell([0,s]) = -C left(lambda_d^{(alpha)} ight)^{d/alpha},

with

C i n (0, i n f t y]

. The constant

C

is is finite if and only if the common distribution of the lattice random variables charges

l e f t 0 i g h t

. In this case, the constant

C

is expressed explicitly in terms of such a probability. In the limit formula,

l a m b d a_{d}^{(a l p h a)}

denotes the Dirichlet ground-state eigenvalue of the operator

(- D e l t a)^{a l p h a / 2}

in the unit ball in

m a t h b b R^{d} .
