Review text

The author describes, without technical details, a rigorous proof of Anderson localization of light in randomized periodic media. The approach is operator theoretical and reminiscent of quantum mechanics. In fact, it is discussed a number of key points of spectral theory of Maxwell operators in non-homogeneous media, like spectral gaps, defects and midgap eigenvalues, etc. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0939.00046].
