This paper is concerned with discrete, one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with real analytic potentials and one Diophantine frequency. Using localization and duality we show that almost every point in the spectrum admits a…

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…

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…

We show that a one-frequency analytic SL(2,R) cocycle with Diophantine rotation vector is analytically linearizable if and only if the Lyapunov exponent is zero through a complex neighborhood of the circle. More generally, we show (without…

We consider the discrete versions of the well known Borg theorem and use simple linear algebraic techniques to obtain new versions of the discrete Borg type theorems. To be precise, we prove that the periodic potential of a discrete…

We investigate the spectral properties of the discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by continuous sampling along the orbits of a minimal translation of a Cantor group. We show that for given Cantor…

For non-self-adjoint almost-periodic Schr\"odinger operators, a criterion is given to guarantee that they have both the same spectrum and same Lyapunov exponents with the discrete free Laplacian. As a byproduct, we show that the…

In this paper we study two-dimensional discrete operators whose eigenfunctions at zero energy level are given by rational functions on spectral curves. We extend discrete operators to difference operators and show that two-dimensional…

We consider kernel operators defined by a dynamical system. The Hausdorff distance of spectra is estimated by the Hausdorff distance of subsystems. We prove that the spectrum map is $ \frac{1}{2} $-H\"older continuous provided the group…

For almost Mathieu operator $(H_{\lambda,\alpha,\theta}u)_n=u_{n+1}+u_{n-1}+2\lambda \cos2\pi(\theta+n\alpha)u_n$, the dry version of Ten Martini problem predicts that the spectrum $\Sigma_{\lambda,\alpha}$ of $ H_{\lambda,\alpha,\theta}$…

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…

In this paper, we prove the generic version of Cantor spectrum for quasi-periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators with finitely smooth and small potentials, and we also show pure point spectrum for a class of multi-frequency $C^k$ long-range…

We investigate the spectral properties of Schr\"odinger operators in l^2(Z) with limit-periodic potentials. The perspective we take was recently proposed by Avila and is based on regarding such potentials as generated by continuous sampling…

We show that, under some very weak assumption of effective variation for the magnetic field, a periodic Schr\"odinger operator with magnetic wells on a noncompact Riemannian manifold $M$ such that $H^1(M, \R)=0$ equipped with a properly…

We show that if the base frequency is Diophantine, then the Lyapunov exponent of a $C^{k}$ quasi-periodic $SL(2,\mathbb{R})$ cocycle is $1/2$-H\"older continuous in the almost reducible regime, if $k$ is large enough. As a consequence, we…

We construct multidimensional almost-periodic Schr\"odinger operators whose spectrum has zero lower box counting dimension. In particular, the spectrum in these cases is a generalized Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure.

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…

The determination of the spectrum of a Schr\"odinger operator is a fundamental problem in mathematical quantum mechanics. We discuss a series of results showing that Schr\"odinger operators can exhibit spectra that are remarkably thin in…

We consider discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with quasi-Sturmian potentials. We present a new approach to the trace map dynamical system which is independent of the initial conditions and establish a characterization of the…

We discuss discrete one-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators whose potentials are generated by an invertible ergodic transformation of a compact metric space and a continuous real-valued sampling function. We pay particular attention to the…
