Norms (inequalities, more than one norm, etc.) of linear operators (47A30) Jacobi (tridiagonal) operators (matrices) and generalizations (47B36) Linear operators in ({}^*)-algebras (47C10) Selfadjoint operator theory in quantum theory, including spectral analysis (81Q10)

Abstract: We estimate the norm of the almost Mathieu operator $H_{heta,lambda}=U+U^{\ast }+(lambda/2)(V+V^{\ast })$ in the rotation $C^{\ast }$-algebra $A_{h}eta=C^{\ast }(U,Vunitaries;UV=e^{2piiheta}VU)$. In this process, we significantly improve the inequality $|H_{h}eta|leq2sqrt2$, $hetain[0.25,0.5]$, conjectured by Beguin, Valette and Zuk.
