  text: We obtain the Lifschitz tail, i.e. the exact low energy asymptotics of the
    integrated density of states (IDS) of the two-dimensional magnetic Schrödinger
    operator with a uniform magnetic field and random Poissonian impurities. The single
    site potential is repulsive and it has a finite but nonzero range. We show that
    the IDS is a continuous function of the energy at the bottom of the spectrum.
    This result complements the earlier (nonrigorous) calculations by Brézin, Gross
    and Itzykson which predict that the IDS is discontinuous at the bottom of the
    spectrum for zero range (Dirac delta) impurities at low density. We also elucidate
    the reason behind this apparent controversy. Our methods involve magnetic localization
    techniques (both in space and energy) in addition to a modified version of the
    "enlargement of obstacles" method developed by A.-S. Sznitman.
