چکیده

We give new examples of discrete Schrδdinger operators with potentials taking finitely many values that have purely singular continuous spectrum. If the hull X of the potential is strictly ergodic, then the existence of just one potential x in X for which the operator has no eigenvalues implies that there is a generic set in X for which the operator has purely singular continuous spectrum. A sufficient condition for the existence of such an x is that there is a z G X that contains arbitrarily long palindromes. Thus we can define a large class of primitive substitutions for which the operators are purely singularly continuous for a generic subset in X. The class includes well-known substitutions like Fibonacci, Thue-Morse, Period Doubling, binary non-Pisot and ternary non-Pisot. We also show that the operator has no absolutely continuous spectrum for all x G X if X derives from a primitive substitution. For potentials defined by circle maps, xn = ly($o + nu), we show that the operator has purely singular continuous spectrum for a generic subset in X for all irrational α and every half-open interval J.

Stochastic Schrδdinger Operators and Jacobi Matrices on the Strip

We discuss stochastic Schrδdinger operators and Jacobi matrices with wave functions, taking values in C so there are 21 Lyaponov exponents 7i ^ ••• ̂ 7 i ^ 0 ^ y z + 1 ^ ••• ̂ y 2 ; = — yi Our results include the fact that if yx = 0 on a set positive measure, then V is deterministic and one that says that {£|exactly 2j y's are zero} is the essential support of the a.c. spectrum of multiplicity 2j.

Imbedded Singular Continuous Spectrum for Schrödinger Operators

We construct examples of potentials V (x) satisfying |V (x)| ≤ h(x) 1+x , where the function h(x) is growing arbitrarily slowly, such that the corresponding Schrödinger operator has imbedded singular continuous spectrum. This solves one of the fifteen “twenty-first century” problems for Schrödinger operators posed by Barry Simon in [22]. The construction also provides the first example of a Sch...

Operators with Singular Continuous Spectrum: Iii. Almost Periodic Schrödinger Operators

We prove that one-dimensional Schrödinger operators with even almost periodic potential have no point spectrum for a dense Gδ in the hull. This implies purely singular continuous spectrum for the almost Mathieu equation for coupling larger than 2 and a dense Gδ in θ even if the frequency is an irrational with good Diophantine properties. §
