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…

In this paper we present a complete spectral analysis of Dirac operators with non-Hermitian matrix potentials of the form $i\operatorname{sgn}(x)+V(x)$ where $V\in L^1$. For $V=0$ we compute explicitly the matrix Green function. This allows…

Operators with zero dimensional spectral measures appear naturally in the theory of ergodic Schr\"odinger operators. We develop the concept of a complete family of Hausdorff measure functions in order to analyze and distinguish between…

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 derive bounds on the location of non-embedded eigenvalues of Dirac operators on the half-line with non-Hermitian $L^1$-potentials. The results are sharp in the non-relativistic or weak-coupling limit. In the massless case, the absence of…

We derive a limiting absorption principle on any compact interval in $\mathbb{R} \backslash \{0\}$ for the free massless Dirac operator, $H_0 = \alpha \cdot (-i \nabla)$ in $[L^2(\mathbb{R}^n)]^N$, $n \geq 2$, $N=2^{\lfloor(n+1)/2\rfloor}$,…

We provide a concise, yet fairly complete discussion of the concept of essential closures of subsets of the real axis and their intimate connection with the topological support of absolutely continuous measures. As an elementary application…
