Some remarks on spectral averaging and the local density of states for random Schrödinger operators on $L^2 ( R^d )$
We prove some local estimates on the trace of spectral projectors for random Schrödinger operators restricted to cubes $Λ\subset R^d$. We also present a new proof of the spectral averaging result based on analytic perturbation theory. Together, these provide another proof of the Wegner estimate with an explicit form of the constant and an alternate proof of the Birman-Solomyak formula. We also use these results to prove the Lipschitz continuity of the local density of states function for a restricted family of random Schrödinger operators on cubes $Λ\subset R^d$, for $d \geq 1$. The result holds for low energies without a localization assumption but is not strong enough to extend to the infinite-volume limit.
