If $\mu$ is a finite complex measure in the complex plane $\C$ we denote by $C^\mu$ its Cauchy integral defined in the sense of principal value. The measure $\mu$ is called reflectionless if it is continuous (has no atoms) and $C^\mu=0$ at…
We study several related aspects of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. Our first set of results deals with the singular part of reflectionless measures. We then introduce and discuss Lyapunov exponents, density of states measures, and other…
We provide a concise, yet fairly complete discussion of the concept of essential closures of subsets of the real axis and their intimate connection with the topological support of absolutely continuous measures. As an elementary application…
In [8] we found a class of overlapping asymmetric self-similar measures on the real line, which are generically absolutely continuous with respect to the Lebesgue measure. Here we construct exceptional measures in this class being singular.
We study the properties of reflectionless measures for an $s$-dimensional Calder\'on-Zygmund operator $T$ acting in $\mathbb{R}^d$, where $s\in (0,d)$. Roughly speaking, these are the measures $\mu$ for which $T(\mu)$ is constant on the…
We consider Jacobi matrices with zero diagonal and off-diagonals given by elements of the hull of the Fibonacci sequence and show that the spectrum has zero Lebesgue measure and all spectral measures are purely singular continuous. In…
We construct a planar homogeneous self-similar measure, with strong separation, dense rotations and dimension greater than $1$, such that there exist lines for which dimension conservation does not hold and the projection of the measure is…
We prove that in a Euclidean space of dimension at least two, there exists a compact set of Lebesgue measure zero such that any real-valued Lipschitz function defined on the space is differentiable at some point in the set. Such a set is…
We study the properties of reflectionless measures for a Calder\'{o}n-Zygmund operator T. Roughly speaking, these are measures $\mu$ for which T(\mu) vanishes (in a weak sense) on the support of the measure. We describe the relationship…
We prove that Jacobi, CMV, and Schr\"odinger operators, which are reflectionless on a homogeneous set E (in the sense of Carleson), under the assumption of a Blaschke-type condition on their discrete spectra accumulating at E, have purely…
This paper investigates the spectral properties of Jacobi matrices with limit-periodic coefficients. We show that for a residual set of such matrices, the spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure, and the spectral measures are…
The lower spectral radius of a set of $d \times d$ matrices is defined to be the minimum possible exponential growth rate of long products of matrices drawn from that set. When considered as a function of a finite set of matrices of fixed…
We show that for any infinite set $A$ in ${\mathbb R}$, there exists a compact set $E \subseteq \mathbb{R}$ of positive Lebesgue measure that does not contain any non-trivial affine copy of $A$. This proves the Erd\"os similarity…
We discuss several questions which remained open in our joint work with M. Sodin "Almost periodic Jacobi matrices with homogeneous spectrum, infinite-dimensional Jacobi inversion, and Hardy spaces of character--automorphic functions". In…
Objects composed of lattice defects exist within a one-dimensional tight-binding model whose electron reflection coefficient in the low-energy case is equal to zero. Localized states are absent as well. The effective mass concept explains…
Work in the measure algebra of the Lebesgue measure on the Cantor space: for comeager many $[A]$ the set of points $x$ such that the density of $x $ at $A$ is not defined is $\Sigma^{0}_{3}$-complete; for some compact $K$ the set of points…
We construct and study the one-parameter semigroup of $\sigma$-finite measures ${\cal L}^{\theta}$, $\theta>0$, on the space of Schwartz distributions that have an infinite-dimensional abelian group of linear symmetries; this group is a…
In relation to the Erd\H os similarity problem (show that for any infinite set $A$ of real numbers there exists a set of positive Lebesgue measure which contains no affine copy of $A$) we give some new examples of infinite sets which are…
The study deals with a minimal energy problem over noncompact classes of infinite dimensional vector measures in a locally compact space. The components are positive measures (charges) satisfying certain normalizing assumptions and…
We study one-dimensional random Jacobi operators corresponding to strictly ergodic dynamical systems. In this context, we characterize the spectrum of these operators by non-uniformity of the transfer matrices and the set where the Lyapunov…
