We consider standard and extended CMV matrices with small quasi-periodic Verblunsky coefficients and show that on their essential spectrum, all spectral measures are purely absolutely continuous. This answers a question of Barry Simon from…

We consider continuous cocycles arising from CMV and Jacobi matrices. Assuming the Verblunsky and Jacobi coefficients arise from generalized skew-shifts, we prove that uniform hyperbolicity of the associated cocycles is $C^0$-dense. This…

We establish concrete criteria for fully supported absolutely continuous spectrum for ergodic CMV matrices and purely absolutely continuous spectrum for limit-periodic CMV matrices. We proceed by proving several variational estimates on the…

We investigate the spectral structure of multi-frequency quasi-periodic CMV matrices with Verblunsky coefficients defined by shifts on the $d$-dimensional torus. Under the positive Lyapunov exponent regime and standard Diophantine frequency…

We prove an averaging formula for the derivative of the absolutely continuous part of the density of states measure for an ergodic family of CMV matrices. As a consequence, we show that the spectral type of such a family is almost surely…

Reflectionless CMV matrices are studied using scattering theory. By changing a single Verblunsky coefficient a full-line CMV matrix can be decoupled and written as the sum of two half-line operators. Explicit formulas for the scattering…

We describe the spectrum of an ergodic invariant measure by examining the behaviour of its generic points. We define regular Wiener--Wintner generic points for a measure to generalise the characterisation of generic points for discrete…

We prove a general Borg-type inverse spectral result for a reflectionless unitary CMV operator (CMV for Cantero, Moral, and Vel\'azquez) associated with matrix-valued Verblunsky coefficients. More precisely, we find an explicit formula for…

We consider CMV matrices with Verblunsky coefficients determined in an appropriate way by the Fibonacci sequence and present two applications of the spectral theory of such matrices to problems in mathematical physics. In our first…

As an application of the Gordon lemma for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, we prove that for a generic set of quasiperiodic Verblunsky coefficients the corresponding two-sided CMV operator has purely singular continuous spectrum.…

Recent results of Denisov and Kaluzhny-Shamis describe the absolutely continuous spectrum of Jacobi matrices with coefficients that obey an l^2 bounded variation condition with step p and are asymptotically periodic. We extend these results…

We study the ergodic properties of generic continuous dynamical systems on compact manifolds. As a main result we prove that generic homeomorphisms have convergent Birkhoff averages under continuous observables at Lebesgue almost every…

We prove that dynamically defined Jacobi and CMV matrices associated with generic continuous sampling functions have all gaps predicted by the Gap Labelling Theorem open. We also give a mechanism for generic gap opening for quasi-periodic…

We consider self-adjoint unbounded Jacobi matrices with diagonal q_n=n and weights \lambda_n=c_n n, where c_n is a 2-periodical sequence of real numbers. The parameter space is decomposed into several separate regions, where the spectrum is…

We generalize the concept of convective (or velocity-dependent) Lyapunov exponent $\Lambda(v)$ to an entire spectrum $\Lambda(v,n)$. Our results are supported by the consistency between the outcome of the chronotopic approach [{\it S. Lepri…

The paper is devoted to the properties of a complex matrix ``twisted,'' otherwise called ``spectral,'' cocycle, associated with substitution dynamical systems. Following a recent finding of Rajabzadeh and Safaee [arXiv:2501.16824] of an…

The Gordon Lemma refers to a class of results in spectral theory which prove that strong local repetitions in the structure of an operator preclude the existence of eigenvalues for said operator. We expand on recent work of Ong and prove…

We show that probability measures on the unit circle associated with Verblunsky coefficients obeying a Coulomb-type decay estimate have no singular continuous component.

We consider products of the matrices associated with the Szeg\H{o} recursion from the theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle and show that under suitable assumptions, their norms grow exponentially in the number of factors. In…

We study CMV matrices by focusing on their right-limit sets. We prove a CMV version of a recent result of Remling dealing with the implications of the existence of absolutely continuous spectrum, and we study some of its consequences. We…
