Abstract

This paper solves ``The Dry Ten Martini Problem'' for C2C^2 cosine-type quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators with large coupling constants and Diophantine frequencies, a model originally introduced by Sinai in 1987 \cite{sinai}. This shows that the analyticity assumption on the potential is not essential for obtaining a dry Cantor spectrum and can be replaced by a certain geometric condition in the low regularity case. In addition, we prove the homogeneity of the spectrum and the absolute continuity of the integrated density of states (IDS).
