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…

In an earlier paper, we established a natural connection between the Baum-Connes conjecture and noncommutative Bloch theory, viz. the spectral theory of projectively periodic elliptic operators on covering spaces. We elaborate on this…

The complement of a Cantor set in the complex plane is itself regarded as a Riemann surface of infinite type. The problem is the quasiconformal equivalence of such Riemann surfaces. Particularly, we are interested in Riemann surfaces given…

We study no-signalling correlations over Cantor spaces, placing the product of infinitely many copies of a finite non-local game in a unified general setup. We define the subclasses of local, quantum spatial, approximately quantum and…

Necessary and sufficient conditions are presented for a measure to be the spectral measure of a finite range perturbation of a Jacobi or CMV operator from a finite gap isospectral torus. The special case of eventually periodic operators…

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…

Spectral asymptotics of the Neumann problem for the Sturm-Liouville equation with generalized derivative of a self-similar generalized Cantor type function as a weight are considered. The spectrum is shown to have a periodicity property for…

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.

For more than a century, Cantor's theory of transfinite numbers has played a pivotal role in set theory, with ramifications that extend to many areas of mathematics. This article extends earlier findings with a fresh look at the critical…

In this note we provide a quasisymmetric taming of uniformly perfect and uniformly disconnected sets that generalizes a result of MacManus from 2 to higher dimensions. In particular, we show that a compact subset of $\mathbb{R}^n$ is…

To any continuous eigenvalue of a Cantor minimal system $(X,\,T)$, we associate an element of the dimension group $K^0(X,\,T)$ associated to $(X,\,T)$. We introduce and study the concept of irrational miscibility of a dimension group. The…

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…

Let $A(t)$ be a holomorphic family of self-adjoint operators of type (B) on a complex Hilbert space $\mathcal{H}$. Kato-Rellich perturbation theory says that isolated eigenvalues of $A(t)$ will be analytic functions of $t$ as long as they…

We give three families of parabolic rational maps and show that every Cantor set of circles as the Julia set of a non-hyperbolic rational map must be quasisymmetrically equivalent to the Julia set of one map in these families for suitable…

We address the computational spectral theory of Jacobi operators that are compact perturbations of the free Jacobi operator via the asymptotic properties of a connection coefficient matrix. In particular, for finite-rank perturbation we…

Let theta = p/q with p and q relatively prime and u and v a pair of unitaries such that u v = e^{i theta} v u, where u and v generate the rotation C*-algebra A_theta. Let h_{theta, lambda} = u + u^{-1} + lambda/2(v + v^{-1}) be the almost…

We consider equally-weighted Cantor measures $\mu_{q,b}$ arising from iterated function systems of the form ${b^{-1}(x+i)}$, $i=0,1,...,q-1$, where $q<b$. We classify the $(q,b)$ so that they have infinitely many mutually orthogonal…

An analogue of the Riemannian Geometry for an ultrametric Cantor set (C, d) is described using the tools of Noncommutative Geometry. Associated with (C, d) is a weighted rooted tree, its Michon tree. This tree allows to define a family of…

We study resonances for Jacobi operators on the half lattice with matrix valued coefficient and finitely supported perturbations. We describe a forbidden domain, the geometry of resonances and their asymptotics when the main coefficient of…

Every K-trivial set is computable from an incomplete Martin-L\"of random set, i.e., a Martin-L\"of random set that does not compute 0'.
