Course/Module description:
The course will deal with the spectral theory of random Schroedinger operators. We will focus on proofs of localization, properties of the density of states, eigenvalue statistics, and the extended states conjecture for the Anderson model for high dimensions.
Course/Module aims:
The students will know the basic concepts and techniques in the study of random Schroedinger operators.
