             AN INTRODUCTION TO RANDOM SCHROEDINGER OPERATORS

Random Schroedinger operators are examples of stochastic differential
operators which model electron motion in randomly perturbed media.  One of
the striking aspects of these differential operators is that the randomness
causes the eigenfunctions to be localized with probability one.  This talk
will present some of the basic properties of random operators and survey
some recent results.

                         ABOUT THE DG/PDE SEMINAR

During the Fall quarter 1995, the Differential Geometry and PDE/Numerical
Analysis Seminars will meet jointly on Mondays, 3:45-4:45PM, in Padelford
C401.  Either or both seminars may be taken for graduate credit.  To find
out about the requirements for obtaining credit, or for more information
