Using the spectral theory of weakly convergent sequences of finite graphs, we prove the uniform existence of the integrated density of states for a large class of infinite graphs.

Lenz and Stollmann recently proved the existence of the integrated density of states in the sense of uniform convergence of the distributions for certain operators with aperiodic order. The goal of this paper is to establish a relation…

The existence and construction of periodic approximations with convergent spectra is crucial in solid state physics for the spectral study of corresponding Schr\"odinger operators. In a forthcoming work [9] (arXiv:1709.00975) this task was…

It is known that convergence of l.s.b. closed symmetric sesquilinear forms implies norm resolvent convergence of the associated self-adjoint operators and this in turn convergence of discrete spectra. In this paper in both cases sharp…

We give a simple argument that if a quasiperiodic multi-frequency Schr\"odinger cocycle is reducible to a constant rotation for almost all energies with respect to the density of states measure, then the spectrum of the dual operator is…

We consider one-frequency analytic SL(2,R) cocycles. Our main result establishes the Almost Reducibility Conjecture in the case of exponentially Liouville frequencies. Together with our earlier work, this implies that all cocycles close to…

To study the convergence to equilibrium in random maps we developed the spectral theory of the corresponding transfer (Perron-Frobenius) operators acting in a certain Banach space of generalized functions. The random maps under study in a…

We extend some basic results known for finite range operators to long range operators with off-diagonal decay. Namely, we prove an analogy of Sch'nol's theorem. We also establish the connection between the almost sure spectrum of long range…

We provide an ergodic theorem for certain Banach-space valued functions on structures over $\ZZ^d$, which allow for existence of frequencies of finite patterns. As an application we obtain existence of the integrated density of states for…
