We present a result of absence of absolutely continuous spectrum in an interval of $\R$, for a matrix-valued random Schr\"odinger operator, acting on $L^2(\R)\otimes \R^N$ for an arbitrary $N\geq 1$, and whose interaction potential is…
We study a class of continuous matrix-valued Anderson models acting on $L^{2}(\R^{d})\otimes \C^{N}$. We prove the existence of their Integrated Density of States for any $d\geq 1$ and $N\geq 1$. Then for $d=1$ and for arbitrary $N$, we…

In this note, we study a continuous matrix-valued Anderson-type model. Both leading Lyapounov exponents of this model are proved to be positive and distincts for all energies in $(2,+\infty)$ except those in a discrete set, which leads to…

Methods from scattering theory are introduced to analyze random Schroedinger operators in one dimension by applying a volume cutoff to the potential. The key ingredient is the Lifshitz-Krein spectral shift function, which is related to the…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators in $\ell^2(\Z)$ whose potentials are defined via continuous sampling along the orbits of a homeomorphism on a compact metric space. We show that for each non-atomic ergodic measure $\mu$, there is a dense…
We consider the growth of the norms of transfer matrices of ergodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension. It is known that the set of energies at which the rate of exponential growth is slower than prescribed by the Lyapunov…
We provide a complete and self-contained proof of spectral and dynamical localization for the one-dimensional Anderson model, starting from the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent provided by F\"urstenberg's theorem. That is, a…
We investigate the spectral properties of the discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by continuous sampling along the orbits of a minimal translation of a Cantor group. We show that for given Cantor…
In this paper, we show that the ground-state density of any non-interacting Schr\"odinger operator on the one-dimensional torus with potentials in a certain class of distributions is strictly positive. This result together with recent…
We say that a discrete set $X =\{x_n\}_{n\in\dN_0}$ on the half-line $$0=x_0 < x_1 <x_2 <x_3<... <x_n<... <+\infty$$ is sparse if the distances $\Delta x_n = x_{n+1} -x_n$ between neighbouring points satisfy the condition $\frac{\Delta…
We prove an averaging formula for the derivative of the absolutely continuous part of the density of states measure for an ergodic family of CMV matrices. As a consequence, we show that the spectral type of such a family is almost surely…
