We prove that the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is subcritical. This settles Problem 6 of Barry Simon's list of Schr\"odinger operator problems for the twenty-first century.

We determine numerically the self-similarity maps for spectra of the almost Mathieu operators, a two-dimensional fractal-like structure known as the Hofstadter butterfly. The similarity maps each have a horizontal component determined by…

We show that the integrated density of states of the almost Mathieu operator is absolutely continuous if and only if the coupling is non-critical. We deduce for subcritical coupling that the spectrum is purely absolutely continuous for…

We consider the spectrum of the Almost Mathieu operator (AMO) and show that the moments of the restriction of the Lebesgue measure to the intersection spectrum $\text{Leb}|_{\Sigma_{\alpha,\lambda}}$ are polynomials in coupling $\lambda$…

We prove a kind of "almost all symmetry" result for the Liouville function $\lambda(n):=(-1)^{\Omega(n)}$, giving non-trivial bounds for its "symmetry integral", say $I_{\lambda}(N,h)$ : we get $I_{\lambda}(N,h)\ll NhL^3+Nh^{21/20}$, with…

We consider the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator $H_\alpha$ with frequency $\alpha$ and in the case of the critical coupling. Let an irrational $\alpha$ be such that $|\alpha-p_n/q_n|<c q_n^{-\varkappa}$, where $p_n/q_n$,…
