Continuity of the Lyapunov exponent for quasiperiodic operators with analytic potential (Q1397381)

The authors study the continuity of the Lyapunov exponent for quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators with analytic potential. They prove two main results: the Lyapunov exponent \(L(E,\omega)\) (where \(E\) is the energy and \(\omega\) is the frequency) is continuous in \(E\) and it is jointly continuous in (\(E,\omega\)) at every (\(E_0,\omega_0\)) with irrational \(\omega_0\). This result can be useful for cases where \(L(E,\omega)\) can be estimated or directly computed for periodic operators obtained from the rational approximants of \(\omega\).
