Abstract

We prove that the integrated density of states (IDS) for the randomly perturbed Landau Hamiltonian is Hölder continuous at all energies with any Hölder exponent < q < 1. The random Anderson-type potential is constructed with a non-negative, compactly supported single-site potential u. The distribution of the iid random variables is required to be absolutely continuous with a bounded, compactly upported density. This extends a previous result Combes et al. [Combes, J. M., Hislop, P. D., Klopp, F. (2003a). Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states for some random operators at all energies. Int. Math. Res. Notices 2003: 179-209] that was restricted to constant magnetic fields having rational flux through the unit square. We also prove that the IDS is Hölder continuous as a function of the nonzero magnetic field strength.
