A bound on the averaged spectral shift function and a lower bound on the density of states for random Schrödinger operators on

Abstract
We obtain a bound on the expectation of the spectral shift function for alloy-type random Schrödinger operators on in the region of localisation, corresponding to a change from Dirichlet to Neumann boundary conditions along the boundary of a finite volume. The bound scales with the area of the surface where the boundary conditions are changed. As an application of our bound on the spectral shift function, we prove a reverse Wegner inequality for finite-volume Schrödinger operators in the region of localisation with a constant locally uniform in the energy. The application requires that the single-site distribution of the independent and identically distributed random variables has a Lebesgue density that is also bounded away from zero. The reverse Wegner inequality implies a strictly positive, locally uniform lower bound on the density of states for these continuum random Schrödinger operators.
