This extended Oberwolfach report (to appear in the proceedings of the MFO Workshop 2335: Aspects of Aperiodic Order) announces the full solution to the Dry Ten Martini Problem for Sturmian Hamiltonians. Specifically, we show that all…
We solve the Dry Ten Martini Problem in the non-critical case, i.e., all possible spectral gaps are open for almost Mathieu operators with $\lambda\ne \pm 1$.
We present a review of the work L. Raymond from 1995. The review aims at making this work more accessible and offers adaptations of some statements and proofs. In addition, this review forms an applicable framework for the complete solution…
This paper solves ``The Dry Ten Martini Problem'' for $C^2$ cosine-type quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators with large coupling constants and Diophantine frequencies, a model originally introduced by Sinai in 1987 \cite{sinai}. This shows…
In this paper we prove the dry version of the Ten Martini problem: Cantor spectrum with all gaps open, for the extended Harper's model in the non self-dual region for Diophantine frequencies.
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 solve the Dry Ten Martini Problem for the unitary almost Mathieu operator with Diophantine frequencies in the non-critical regime.
We prove the conjecture (known as the ``Ten Martini Problem'' after Kac and Simon) that the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator is a Cantor set for all non-zero values of the coupling and all irrational frequencies.
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…
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}$…
We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the spectrum of a discrete Schr\"odinger operator with Sturmian potential of bounded type tends to one as coupling tends to zero. The proof is based on the trace map formalism.
A one-dimensional discrete Stark Hamiltonian with a continuous electric field is constructed by extension theory methods. In absence of the impurities the model is proved to be exactly solvable, the spectrum is shown to be simple,…
We solve the ten martini problem (Cantor spectrum with no condition on irrational frequencies, previously only established for the almost Mathieu) for a large class of one-frequency quasiperiodic operators, including nonperturbative…
In this paper we use results on reducibility, localization and duality for the Almost Mathieu operator, \[ (H_{b,\phi} x)_n= x_{n+1} +x_{n-1} + b \cos(2 \pi n \omega + \phi)x_n \] on $l^2(\mathbb{Z})$ and its associated eigenvalue equation…
