Abstract

For one-dimensional random Schr\"odinger operators, the integrated density of states is known to be given in terms of the (averaged) rotation number of the Pr\"ufer phase dynamics. This paper develops a controlled perturbation theory for the rotation number around an energy, at which all the transfer matrices commute and are hyperbolic. Such a hyperbolic critical energy appears in random hopping models. The main result is a H\"older continuity of the rotation number at the critical energy that, under certain conditions on the randomness, implies the existence of a pseudo-gap. The proof uses renewal theory. The result is illustrated by numerics.
