Regularity of the surface density of states. (English) Zbl 1005.82015

The authors find wide classes of continuous and discrete Anderson-type random Schrödinger operators for which the integrated surface density of states (a priori distribution) is actually a measurable locally integrable function. The proof is based on the \(L^p\)-bound on the spectral shift function obtained by J. M. Combes, P. D. Hislop and S. Nakamura [Commun. Math. Phys. 218, 113-130 (2001; Zbl 1042.82024)]. A new proof of the Hölder continuity of the integrated density of bulk states is also given.
