Abstract: This paper is devoted to the asymptotics of the density of surfacic states near the spectral edges for a discrete surfacic Anderson model. Two types of spectral edges have to be considered : fluctuating edges and stable edges. Each type has its own type of asymptotics. In the case of fluctuating edges, one obtains Lifshitz tails the parameters of which are given by the initial operator suitably "reduced" to the surface. For stable edges, the surface density of states behaves like the surface density of states of a constant (equal to the expectation of the random potential) surface potential. Among the tools used to establish this are the asymptotics of the surface density of states for constant surface potentials.


The density of surface states near band edges is investigated within the framework of the Anderson model. Both fluctuating boundaries and fixed boundaries are considered. In the case of fluctuating boundaries one obtains Lifshitz tails whose parameters are given by the initial operator reduced appropriately to the surface. In the case of a stable boundary the surface density of states behaves as if the surface potential would be constant.
