The spectra of random systems usually have an exponential singularity (Lifshitz tail) in the density of states at band edges: this singularity is a pure exponential for, e.g., the Anderson model with a binary potential distribution. It has been shown recently, at least in one dimension, that the Lifshitz singularity is affected by a universal logarithmic correction in the case of, e.g., uniform distributions. The precise form of the Lifshitz tail is derived here, by means of a field-theoretic description, and of instanton calculus. This very general scheme provides new results for an arbitrary distribution of potentials, in arbitrary dimension.
