We consider separable 2D discrete Schr\"odinger operators generated by 1D almost Mathieu operators. For fixed Diophantine frequencies we prove that for sufficiently small couplings the spectrum must be an interval. This complements a result…
We review the recent developments in the spectral theory of discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with potentials generated by substitutions and circle maps. We discuss how occurrences of local repetitive structures allow for…
We consider Schroedinger operator $-\Delta+V$ in $R^d$ ($d\ge 2$) with smooth periodic potential $V$ and prove that there are only finitely many gaps in its spectrum.
Schrodinger eigenproblems on a discrete interval are further investigated with special attention given to test cases such as the linear and Rosen--Morse potentials. In the former case it is shown that the characteristic function determining…
We survey results concerning the spectral properties of limit-periodic operators. The main focus is on discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators, but other classes of operators, such as Jacobi and CMV matrices, continuum…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. The spectrum of the Schr\"odinger operator consists of an absolutely continuous part (a union of a finite number of non-degenerated bands) plus a…
We prove a generalization of the well-known theorems by Borg and Hochstadt for periodic self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators without a spectral gap, respectively, one gap in their spectrum, in the matrix-valued context. Our extension of the…
In this paper we investigate the spectral and the scattering theory of Schr\"odinger operators acting on perturbed periodic discrete graphs. The perturbations considered are of two types: either a multiplication operator by a short-range or…
I present an example of a discrete Schr"odinger operator that shows that it is possible to have embedded singular spectrum and, at the same time, discrete eigenvalues that approach the edges of the essential spectrum (much) faster than…
This is a survey of recent progress on the irreducibility of Fermi varieties, rigidity results and embedded eigenvalue problems of discrete periodic Schr\"odinger operators.
We establish a new and simple criterion that suffices to generate many spectral gaps for periodic word models. This leads to new examples of ergodic Schr\"odinger operators with Cantor spectra having zero Hausdorff dimension that…
The two-dimensional Schroedinger operator with a uniform magnetic field and a periodic zero-range potential is considered. For weak magnetic fields we reduce the spectral problem to the semiclassical analysis of one-dimensional Harper-like…
We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+B$, $m>0$, in $\R^d$ which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of $B$ is smooth in $\bx$, and (ii) the perturbation $B$ has order less than $2m$.…
We discuss Schr\"odinger operators on a half-line with decaying oscillatory potentials, such as products of an almost periodic function and a decaying function. We provide sufficient conditions for preservation of absolutely continuous…
In this survey, we give an introduction to and proof of the gap labelling theorem for discrete one-dimensional ergodic Schr\"odinger operators via the Schwartzman homomorphism. To keep the paper relatively self-contained, we include…
It is shown that for any irrational rotation number and any admissible gap labelling number the almost Mathieu operator (also known as Harper's operator) has a gap in its spectrum with that labelling number. This answers the strong version…
The research on spectral inequalities for discrete Schrodinger Operators has proved fruitful in the last decade. Indeed, several authors analysed the operator's canonical relation to a tridiagonal Jacobi matrix operator. In this paper, we…
A periodic Schr\"odinger operator on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ such that $H^1(M, \mathbb R)=0$ endowed with a properly discontinuous cocompact isometric action of a discrete group is considered. Under some additional conditions…
Consider the discrete 1D Schr\"odinger operator on $\Z$ with an odd $2k$ periodic potential $q$. For small potentials we show that the mapping: $q\to $ heights of vertical slits on the quasi-momentum domain (similar to the…
The Dry Ten Martini Problem for Sturmian Hamiltonians is affirmatively solved. Concretely, we prove that all spectral gaps are open for Schr\"odinger operators with Sturmian potentials and non-vanishing coupling constant. A key approach…
