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}.…

Avila recently introduced a new method for the study of the discrete Schr\"odinger Operator with limit periodic potential. I adapt this method to the context of orthogonal polynomials in the unit circle with limit periodic Verblunsky…

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…

In this paper, we present an approach for explicitly constructing quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operators with Cantor spectrum with $C^k$ potential. Additionally, we provide polynomial asymptotics on the size of spectral gaps.

We consider the spectrum of the Fibonacci Hamiltonian for small values of the coupling constant. It is known that this set is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure. Here we study the limit, as the value of the coupling constant approaches…
