Abstract

Let HωH_\omega be a self-adjoint Jacobi operator with a potential sequence {ω(n)}n\{\omega(n)\}_n of independently distributed random variables with continuous probability distributions and let μϕω\mu_\phi^\omega be the corresponding spectral measure generated by HωH_\omega and the vector ϕ\phi. We consider sets A(ω)A(\omega) which depend on ω\omega in a particular way and prove that μϕω(A(ω))=0\mu_\phi^\omega(A(\omega))=0 for almost every ω\omega. This is applied to show equivalence relations between spectral measures for random Jacobi matrices and to study the interplay of the eigenvalues of these matrices and their submatrices.
