Abstract:
We will briefly review the main concepts and fascinating physics background of one-dimensional analytic quasiperiodic operators and their associated cocycles. We will then present highlights of our joint work with Lingrui Ge, Jiangong You, and Qi Zhou on a non-commutative generalization of Jensen’s formula, and explain how it uncovers the mystery behind Avila’s global theory. Then, we will discuss the work of Ge and our joint work with Ge and with Ge and You, showing how the duality approach helps prove previously model-specific sharp spectral statements in a robust way. The talk is intended for a broad mathematical audience, with emphasis on ideas and mechanisms rather than technical details.
