چکیده
We obtain partial results on the conjecture that for the almost Mathieu operator at irrational frequency, α, the measure of the spectrum, S(α,Λ,,θ) = |4 — 2\λ\\. For \λ\ή=2 we show that if an is rational and αM-^α irrational, then S+(απ,λ,0)-»|4 -2|λ||.

Almost Everything about the Almost Mathieu Operator I*
We review some aspects of the spectral theory of the Almost Mathieu operator (acting on`2 (Z)): where ; ; 2 R. We concentrate on the spectrum as a set, and describe the partial results obtained so far on the conjectures that, for irrational , it is a Cantor set and has Lebesgue measure j4 ? 2jjj.
متن کاملAbsolute Continuity of the Integrated Density of States for the Almost Mathieu Operator with Non-critical Coupling
We show that the integrated density of states of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is non-critical. We deduce for subcritical coupling that the spectrum is purely absolutely continuous for almost every phase, settling the measure-theoretical case of Problem 6 of Barry Simon’s list of Schrödinger operator problems for the twenty-first century.
متن کاملReducibility or Non-uniform Hyperbolicity for Quasiperiodic Schrödinger Cocycles
We show that for almost every frequency α ∈ R\Q, for every Cω potential v : R/Z→ R, and for almost every energy E the corresponding quasiperiodic Schrödinger cocycle is either reducible or non-uniformly hyperbolic. This result gives a very good control on the absolutely continuous part of the spectrum of the corresponding quasiperiodic Schrödinger operator, and allows us to complete the proof o...
