This paper investigates the spectral properties of Jacobi matrices with limit-periodic coefficients. We show that for a residual set of such matrices, the spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure, and the spectral measures are…

In this article we present a statistical version of the Candes-Tao restricted isometry property (SRIP for short) which holds in general for any incoherent dictionary which is a disjoint union of orthonormal bases. In addition, under…

This article is devoted to the spectral analysis of the electro-magnetic Schr\"odinger operator on the Euclidean plane. In the semiclassical limit, we derive a pseudo-differential effective operator that allows us to describe the spectrum…

A periodic one-dimensional Schroedinger operator is called semifinite-gap if every second gap in its spectrum is eventually closed. We construct explicit examples of semifinite-gap Schroedinger operators in trigonometric functions by…

The spectrum of random ergodic Schr\"odinger-type operators is almost surely a deterministic subset of the real line. The random operator can be considered as a perturbation of a periodic one. As soon as the disorder is switched on via a…

Building on works of Berth\'e--Steiner--Thuswaldner and Fogg--Nous we show that on the two-dimensional torus, Lebesgue almost every translation admits a natural coding such that the associated subshift satisfies the Boshernitzan criterion.…

The spectra of the Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials are studied. When the potential is real and periodic, the spectrum consists of at most countably many line segments (energy bands) on the real line, while when the…

We show that spectral Hausdorff dimensional properties of discrete Schr\"oodinger operators with (1) Sturmian potentials of bounded density and (2) a class of sparse potentials are preserved under suitable polynomial decaying perturbations,…

We introduce a notion of $\beta$-almost periodicity and prove quantitative lower spectral/quantum dynamical bounds for general bounded $\beta$-almost periodic potentials. Applications include a sharp arithmetic criterion of full spectral…

We study some spectral properties of a simple two-dimensional model for small angle defects in crystals and alloys. Starting from a periodic potential $V \colon \R^2 \to \R$, we let $V_\theta(x,y) = V(x,y)$ in the right half-plane $\{x \ge…

For a monadic sentence psi in the finite vocabulary we show that the spectra, the set of cardinalities of models of psi is almost periodic under reasonable conditions. The first is that every model is so called ``weakly k-decomposable''.…

It is shown that there exits a lower bound $\alpha>0$ to the Hausdorff dimension of the spectral measures of the one-dimensional period doubling substitution Schr\"odinger operator, and, generically in the hull of such sequence, $\alpha$ is…

We study discrete quasiperiodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\ell^2(\zee)$ with potentials defined by $\gamma$-H\"older functions. We prove a general statement that for $\gamma >1/2$ and under the condition of positive Lyapunov exponents,…

We introduce the periodic Airy-Schr\"odinger operator and we study its band spectrum. This is an example of an explicitly solvable model with a periodic potential which is not differentiable at its minima and maxima. We define a…

We consider scattering waves through truncated periodic potentials with perturbations that support localized gap eigenstates. In a small complex neighborhood around an assumed positive bound state of the model operator, we prove the…

We study the topology and the Hausdorff dimension of a random Cantor set with overlaps, generated by an iterated function system with scaling ratio equal to the Golden Mean. The results extend known formulas to a case where the Open Set…

We consider the quasi-periodic Schr\"odinger operator $$ [H \psi](x) = -\psi"(x) + V(x) \psi(x) $$ in $L^2(\mathbb{R})$, where the potential is given by $$ V(x) = \sum_{m \in \mathbb{Z}^\nu \setminus \{ 0 \}} c(m)\exp (2\pi i m \omega x) $$…

We consider Schr\"odinger operators with smooth periodic potentials in Euclidean spaces of dimension bigger than 1 and prove a uniform lower bound on the density of states for large values of the spectral parameter.

Following the proof given by Froese and Herbst in [FH82] with another conjugate operator, we show for a class of real potential that possible eigenfunction of the Schr\"odinger operator has to decay sub-exponentially. We also show that, for…
