Uniform boundedness conjecture for the density of states at regular energies

From papers

Let ρ\rho be a probability density with moments of all orders, meaning that

ωqρ(ω)dω<\int |\omega|^q\rho(\omega)\,\mathrm d\omega<\infty

for every q1q\geq 1. Let EoRE_o\in\mathbb R. Suppose there is a δ>0\delta>0 such that, on

{q:ε(q)Eo<δ},\{\mathbf q:|\varepsilon(\mathbf q)-E_o|<\delta\},

the symbol ε\varepsilon is C1C^1 and satisfies ε(q)0\nabla\varepsilon(\mathbf q)\neq 0. Uniform boundedness conjecture. There is a constant Cδ<C_\delta<\infty such that

dNλ(E)dECδ\frac{\mathrm dN_\lambda(E)}{\mathrm dE}\leq C_\delta

for every λR\lambda\in\mathbb R and every E[Eo12δ,Eo+12δ]E\in[E_o-\tfrac12\delta,E_o+\tfrac12\delta]. This would strengthen the available regularity results by asserting a disorder-uniform bound on the density of states near any energy where the unperturbed dispersion relation has no critical points; the supplied text gives no resolution, so the conjecture is recorded as open.
