In joint work with Adam Black and Reuben Drogin, we develop a new approach to understanding the diffusive limit of the random Schrodinger equation based on ideas taken from random matrix theory. These lecture notes present the main ideas…

Let g : $\Omega$ = [0, 1] d $\rightarrow$ R denote a Lipschitz function that can be evaluated at each point, but at the price of a heavy computational time. Let X stand for a random variable with values in $\Omega$ such that one is able to…

We investigate the behavior near zero of the integrated density of states $\ell$ for random Schr\"{o}dinger operators $\Phi(-\Delta) + V^{\omega}$ in $L^2(\mathbb R^d)$, $d \geq 1$, where $\Phi$ is a complete Bernstein function such that…

We prove that at large disorder, with large probability and for a set of Diophantine frequencies of large measure, Anderson localization in $\Bbb Z^d$ is {\it stable} under localized time-quasi-periodic perturbations by proving that the…

We extend our results in \cite{hislop_marx_1} on the quantitative continuity properties, with respect to the single-site probability measure, of the density of states measure and the integrated density of states for random Schr\"odinger…

This paper establishes several sharp spectral results for analytic quasiperiodic Schrodinger operators. Key contributions include: (1) exact exponential decay rates for spectral gaps of the almost Mathieu operator, addressing a question…

Since the seminal results by Avellaneda \& Lin it is known that elliptic operators with periodic coefficients enjoy the same regularity theory as the Laplacian on large scales. In a recent inspiring work, Armstrong \& Smart proved…

We prove that localization near band edges of multi-dimensional ergodic random Schr\"odinger operators with periodic background potential in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ is universal. By this we mean that localization in its strongest dynamical form…

We consider random Schr\"odinger operators of the form $\Delta+\xi$, where $\Delta$ is the lattice Laplacian on $\mathbb Z^d$ and $\xi$ is an i.i.d. random field, and study the extreme order statistics of the eigenvalues for this operator…

We consider a two dimensional magnetic Schroedinger operator with a spatially stationary random magnetic field. We assume that the magnetic field has a positive lower bound and that it has Fourier modes on arbitrarily short scales. We prove…

These are notes for a mini-course given at the summer school and conference "The Six-Functor Formalism and Motivic Homotopy Theory" in Milan 9/2021. They provide an introduction to the formalism of Grothendieck's six operations in algebraic…

I start by reviewing some basic properties of random graphs. I then consider the role of random walks in complex networks and show how they may be used to explain why so many long tailed distributions are found in real data sets. The key…

We study Schr\"odinger operators on quantum graphs where the number of edges between points is determined by orbits of a "shift of finite type". We prove Anderson localization for these systems.

The education system for students in physics suffers (worldwide) from the absence of a deep course in probability and randomness. This is the real problem for students interested in quantum information theory, quantum optics, and quantum…

We develop direct scattering theory for one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with steplike potentials, which are asymptotically close to different Bohr almost periodic infinite-gap potentials on different half-axes.
