Abstract: We study discrete Schroedinger operators $(H_{alpha,heta}psi)(n)=psi(n-1)+psi(n+1)+f(alphan+heta)psi(n)$ on $l^2(Z)$, where $f(x)$ is a real analytic periodic function of period 1. We prove a general theorem relating the measure of the spectrum of $H_{alpha,heta}$ to the measures of the spectra of its canonical rational approximants under the condition that the Lyapunov exponents of $H_{alpha,heta}$ are positive. For the almost Mathieu operator ($f(x)=2lambdacos2pix$) it follows that the measure of the spectrum is equal to $4|1-|lambda||$ for all real $heta$, $lambdaepm1$, and all irrational $alpha$.

Review text

Discrete Schrödinger operators on \(l^2(\mathbb{Z})\) with real analytic periodic perturbations of period 1 are studied. Almost Lipschitz continuity of the spectrum is proved if the Lyapunov exponents are positive. For almost Mathieu perturbations, the measure of the spectrum is determined.
