2026-07-072026-07-07http://salesiana.dossiersoluciones.com/handle/123456789/166450We study low-energy properties of the random displacement model, a random Schrödinger operator describing an electron in a randomly deformed lattice. All periodic displacement configurations which minimize the bottom of the spectrum are characterized. While this configuration is essentially unique for dimension greater than one, there are infinitely many different minimizing configurations in the one-dimensional case. The latter leads to unusual low energy asymptotics for the integrated density of states of the one-dimensional random displacement model. For symmetric Bernoulli-distributed displacements it has a $1/\log^2$-singularity at the bottom of the spectrum. In particular, it is not Hölder-continuous.14 pages, 1 figureMathematical Physics82B44; 81Q10text
