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 $\lambda\ne \pm 1$.
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…
We apply recently developed methods for the construction of quasi-periodic transfer matrices to the Dry Ten Martini problem for the critical almost-Mathieu Operator, also known as the Aubry-Andre-Harper (AAH) model.
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.
We develop a quantitative version of Aubry duality and use it to obtain several sharp estimates for the dynamics of Schr\"odinger cocycles associated to a non-perturbatively small analytic potential and Diophantine frequency. In particular,…
The Dry Ten Martini Problem for Sturmian Hamiltonians is affirmatively solved. Concretely, we prove that all spectral gaps are open for Schr\"odinger operators with Sturmian potentials and non-vanishing coupling constant. A key approach…
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.
For any fixed irrational frequency and trigonometric-polynomial potential, we show that every type I energy with positive Lyapunov exponent that satisfies the gap-labelling condition is a boundary of an open spectral gap. As a corollary,…
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…
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…
We prove that the exponential decay rate in expectation is well defined and is equal to the Lyapunov exponent, for supercritical almost Mathieu operators with Diophantine frequencies.
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 prove that the exponential moments of the position operator stay bounded for the supercritical almost Mathieu operator with Diophantine frequency.
We prove absolute continuity of the integrated density of states for frequency-independent analytic perturbations of the non-critical almost Mathieu operator under arithmetic conditions on frequency.
We show that the integrated density of states of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is non-critical. We deduce for subcritical coupling that the spectrum is purely absolutely continuous for…
This paper is concerned with a one dimensional (1D) derivative nonlinear Schr\"odinger equation with periodic boundary conditions \begin{equation*} \mi u_t+u_{xx}+\mi |u|^2u_x=0, \ \ x\in \mathbb{T}:=\mathbb{R}/2\pi\mathbb{Z}.…
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 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 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 study the unitary almost Mathieu operator (UAMO), a one-dimensional quasi-periodic unitary operator arising from a two-dimensional discrete-time quantum walk on $\mathbb Z^2$ in a homogeneous magnetic field. In the positive Lyapunov…
