We prove a kind of "almost all symmetry" result for the Liouville function $\lambda(n):=(-1)^{\Omega(n)}$, giving non-trivial bounds for its "symmetry integral", say $I_{\lambda}(N,h)$ : we get $I_{\lambda}(N,h)\ll NhL^3+Nh^{21/20}$, with…

Let ${\gamma_q(n)}_{n \in \mathbb{N}}$ be the lengths of spectral gaps in a continuous spectrum of the Hill-Schr\"odinger operators S(q)u=-u''+q(x)u,\quad x\in \mathbb{R}, with 1-periodic real-valued potentials $q \in L^{2}(\mathbb{T})$.…

We consider a two-dimensional periodic Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+W$ with $\Gamma$ being the lattice of periods. We investigate the structure of the edges of open gaps in the spectrum of $H$. We show that under arbitrary small…

We propose a conjecture, similar to Skolem's conjecture, on a Hasse-type principle for exponential diophantine equations. We prove that in a sense the principle is valid for "almost all" equations. Based upon this we propose a general…

We are interested in the spectrum of the Hodge-de Rham operator on a cyclic covering $X$ over a compact manifold $M$ of dimension $n+1$. Let $\Sigma$ be a hypersurface in $M$ which does not disconnect $M$ and such that $M-\Sigma$ is a…

Let theta = p/q with p and q relatively prime and u and v a pair of unitaries such that u v = e^{i theta} v u, where u and v generate the rotation C*-algebra A_theta. Let h_{theta, lambda} = u + u^{-1} + lambda/2(v + v^{-1}) be the almost…

Let $\Lambda\subset\mathbb{R}^2$ be a non-closed piecewise-$C^1$ curve, which is either bounded with two free endpoints or unbounded with one free endpoint. Let $u_\pm|_\Lambda \in L^2(\Lambda)$ be the traces of a function $u$ in the…

It is known that the spectral type of the almost Mathieu operator depends in a fundamental way on both the strength of the coupling constant and the arithmetic properties of the frequency. We study the competition between those factors and…
