Recent developments in the physics of low density trapped gases make it worthwhile to verify old, well known results that, while plausible, were based on perturbation theory and assumptions about pseudopotentials. We use and extend recently…
We derive bounds on the integrated density of states for a class of Schr\"odinger operators with a random potential. The potential depends on a sequence of random variables, not necessarily in a linear way. An example of such a random…
