We study discrete Schroedinger operators with analytic potentials. In particular, we are interested in the connection between the absolutely continuous spectrum in the almost periodic case and the spectra in the periodic case. We prove a…

We show that some spectral properties of the almost Mathieu operator with frequency well approximated by rationals can be as poor as at all possible in the class of all one-dimensional discrete Schroedinger operators. For the class of…

We show that there exists a dense set of frequencies with positive Hausdorff dimension for which the Hausdorff dimension of the spectrum of the critical almost Mathieu operator is positive.

We prove almost Lipshitz continuity of spectra of singular quasiperiodic Jacobi matrices and obtain a representation of the critical almost Mathieu family that has a singularity. This allows us to prove that the Hausdorff dimension of its…

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…

We prove that the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is subcritical. This settles Problem 6 of Barry Simon's list of Schr\"odinger operator problems for the twenty-first century.

We introduce a notion of $\beta$-almost periodicity and prove quantitative lower spectral/quantum dynamical bounds for general bounded $\beta$-almost periodic potentials. Applications include a sharp arithmetic criterion of full spectral…

In this paper, we investigate the spectrum of a class of multidimensional quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators that exhibit a Cantor spectrum, which provides a resolution to a question posed by Damanik, Fillman, and Gorodetski \cite{DFG}.…

We obtain the estimate of the Lebesgue measure of the spectrum for the direct integral of matrix-valued functions. These estimates are applicable for a wide class of discrete periodic operators. For example: these results give new and sharp…

We demonstrate a one-dimensional magnetic system can exhibit a Cantor-type spectrum using an example of a chain graph with $\delta$ coupling at the vertices exposed to a magnetic field perpendicular to the graph plane and varying along the…

We study discrete quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\ell^2(\zee)$ with potentials defined by $\gamma$-H\"older functions. We prove a general statement that for $\gamma >1/2$ and under the condition of positive Lyapunov exponents,…

We prove Berezin--Li--Yau-type lower bounds with additional term for the eigenvalues of the Stokes operator and improve the previously known estimates for the Laplace operator. Generalizations to higher-order operators are given.

I review a recent progress towards solution of the Almost Mathieu equation (A.G. Abanov, J.C. Talstra, P.B. Wiegmann, Nucl. Phys. B 525, 571, 1998), known also as Harper's equation or Azbel-Hofstadter problem. The spectrum of this equation…

In this paper, the spectrum, residual spectrum, point spectrum and spectral radius of weighted conditional type operators are computed. As an application, we give an equivalent condition for weighted conditional type operators to be…

We introduce a unitary almost-Mathieu operator, which is obtained from a two-dimensional quantum walk in a uniform magnetic field. We exhibit a version of Aubry--Andr\'{e} duality for this model, which partitions the parameter space into…

We study discrete Schroedinger operators $(H_{\alpha,\theta}\psi)(n)= \psi(n-1)+\psi(n+1)+f(\alpha n+\theta)\psi(n)$ on $l^2(Z)$, where $f(x)$ is a real analytic periodic function of period 1. We prove a general theorem relating the measure…

In this paper the spectrum of composition operators on the space of real analytic functions is investigated. In some cases it is completely determined while in some other cases it is only estimated.

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 establish quantitative upper and lower bounds for Schr\"odinger operators with complex potentials that satisfy some weak form of sparsity. Our first result is a quantitative version of an example, due to S.\ Boegli (Comm. Math. Phys.,…

For the almost Mathieu operator with a small coupling constant, for a series of spectral gaps, we describe the asymptotic locations of the gaps and get lower bounds for their lengths. The results are obtained by analysing a monodromy…
