Some new estimates on the spectral shift function associated with random Schr

We prove some new pointwise-in-energy bounds on the expectations of various spectral shift functions associated with random Schrodinger operators in the continuum having Anderson-type random potentials in both finite-volume and infinite-volume. These estimates are a consequence of our new Wegner estimate for finite-volume random Schrodinger operators. For lattice models, we also obtain a representation of the infinite-volume density of states in terms of a spectral shift function. For continuum models, the corresponding measure is absolutely continuous with respect to the density of states and agrees with it in certain cases. We present a variant of a new spectral averaging result and use it to prove a pointwise upper bound on the SSF for finite-rank perturbations.
