The absolutely continuous spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator
read the original abstract
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.

Monotonicity, global symplectification and the stability of Dry Ten Martini Problem
Type I energies with positive Lyapunov exponent and gap-labelling condition bound open spectral gaps for irrational frequencies and trig-polynomial potentials, making the all-gaps-open property robust for perturbed al...

Dispersive estimates for discrete Klein-Gordon equations on one-dimensional lattice with quasi-periodic potentials
ℓ¹→ℓ^∞ dispersive decay of order t^{-1/3} holds for the discrete Klein-Gordon equation on Z with small analytic quasi-periodic potentials, yielding Strichartz estimates and small-data global existence for the nonlinea...

Geometric Engineering and Almost Mathieu Operator
The spectrum E = R²(e^p + e^{-p}) + (e^x + e^{-x}) from local P¹ × P¹ is identified with the almost Mathieu operator, yielding three spectral phases separated by transitions at R² = 1 and R² = e^β.
