We give a new and short proof of spectral localization for the 1-d Anderson model with any disorder. The original proof was given by Carmona-Klein-Martinelli in 1987, based on multi-scale analysis. Our proof is based on the large deviation estimates and positivity and subharmonicity of the Lyapunov exponent. We also show how to improve the estimates to get a uniform and quantitative version that allows us to get the exponential dynamical localization.  It is joint work with S. Jitomirskaya. Complete details of the spectral localization proof will be presented during the talk.
