In this article we prove an upper bound for the Lyapunov exponent $\gamma(E)$ and a two-sided bound for the integrated density of states $N(E)$ at an arbitrary energy $E>0$ of random Schr\"odinger operators in one dimension. These…

We study discrete Schroedinger operators with analytic potentials. In particular, we are interested in the connection between the absolutely continuous spectrum in the almost periodic case and the spectra in the periodic case. We prove a…

We study the one-dimensional discrete quasi-periodic Schrodinger equation. We introduce the notion of variations of potential and use it to define "typical" potential. We show that for typical C^3 potential, if the coupling constant is…

We show that SL(2,R) cocycles with a positive Lyapunov exponent are dense in all regularity classes and for all non-periodic dynamical systems. For Schr\"odinger cocycles, we show prevalence of potentials for which the Lyapunov exponent is…

We prove a conditional theorem on the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for a Schr\"odinger cocycle over a skew shift base with a cosine potential and the golden ratio as frequency. For coupling below 1, which is the threshold for…

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…

A Lyapunov-based approach for the trajectory generation of an $N$-dimensional Schr{\"o}dinger equation in whole $\RR^N$ is proposed. For the case of a quantum particle in an $N$-dimensional decaying potential the convergence is precisely…

We study multi-frequency quasiperiodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators on $\mathbb{Z} $. We prove that for a large real analytic potential satisfying certain restrictions the spectrum consists of a single interval. The result is a consequence of…

We show that linear analytic cocycles where all Lyapunov exponents are negative infinite are nilpotent. For such one-frequency cocycles we show that they can be analytically conjugated to an upper triangular cocycle or a Jordan normal form.…

It is known that a one-dimensional quantum particle is localized when subjected to an arbitrarily weak random potential. It is conjectured that localization also occurs for an arbitrarily weak potential generated from the nonlinear…
