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 unitary analogs of $1-$dimensional Anderson models on $l^2(\Z)$ defined by the product $U_\omega=D_\omega S$ where $S$ is a deterministic unitary and $D_\omega$ is a diagonal matrix of i.i.d. random phases. The operator $S$ is…

Non-Hermitian extensions of the Aubry-Andr\'e-Harper (AAH) model reveal a rich variety of phase transitions arising from the interplay of quasiperiodicity and non-Hermiticity. Despite their theoretical significance, experimental…

Let $\alpha\in \mathbb{R}\backslash \mathbb{Q}$ and $\beta(\alpha) = \limsup _{n \to \infty}(\ln q_{n+1})/ q_n <\infty$, where $p_n/q_n$ is the continued fraction approximations to $\alpha$. Let $(H_{\lambda,\alpha,\theta}u)…

For the almost Mathieu operator $(H_{\lambda,\alpha,\theta}u)_n=u_{n+1}+u_{n-1}+2\lambda \cos2\pi(\theta+n\alpha)u_n$, Avila and Jitomirskaya guess that for a.e. $\theta$, $H_{\lambda,\alpha,\theta}$ satisfies Anderson localization if $…

It is known that the spectral type of the almost Mathieu operator depends in a fundamental way on both the strength of the coupling constant and the arithmetic properties of the frequency. We study the competition between those factors and…
