Abstract

We study the spectral minimum and Lifshitz tails for continuum random Schr\"{o}dinger operators of the form \begin{equation*} H_{\om}=-\De+V_{0}+\sum_{i\in\Z^{d}}\om_{i}u(\cdot-i), \end{equation*} where V0V_{0} is the periodic potential, {\omi}iZd\{\om_{i}\}_{i\in\Z^{d}} are i.i.d random variables and uu is the sign-indefinite impurity potential. Recently, this model has been proven to exhibit Lifshitz tails near the bottom of the spectrum under the small support assuption of uu and the reflection symmetry assumption of V0V_{0} and uu. We here drop the reflection symmetry assumption of V0V_{0} and uu. We first give characterizations of the bottom of the spectrum. Then, we show the existence of Lifshitz tails in the regime where the characterization of the bottom of the spectrum is explicit. In particular, this regime covers the reflection symmetry case.
