Abstract: | We study ergodic Jacobi matrices onl
2(Z), and prove a general theorem relating their a.c. spectrum to the spectra of periodic Jacobi matrices, that are obtained by cutting finite pieces from the ergodic potential and then repeating them. We apply this theorem to the almost Mathieu operator: (H
, ,
u)(n)=u(n+1)+u(n–1)+ cos(2n+)u(n), and prove the existence of a.c. spectrum for sufficiently small , all irrational 's, and a.e. . Moreover, for 0<2 and (Lebesgue) a.e. pair , , we prove the explicit equality of measures: |ac|=||=4 –2.Work partially supported by the US-Israel BSF |
