A recent overview of the <A HREF="http://arxiv.org/abs/1104.2317">mathematics of Anderson localization</A> is given by Günter Stolz: > We give a widely self-contained introduction to the mathematical > theory of the Anderson model. After defining the Anderson model and > determining its almost sure spectrum, we prove localization properties > of the model. Here we discuss spectral as well as dynamical > localization and provide proofs based on the fractional moments (or > Aizenman-Molchanov) method. We also discuss, in less self-contained > form, the extension of the fractional moment method to the continuum > Anderson model. Finally, we mention major open problems. > >We do not aim at the most general known results, but rather want to demonstrate that simple and natural mathematical ideas can be used to rigorously establish Anderson localization.
