Abstract: We present a new approach to the problem of Bloch electrons in magnetic ( sometimes called Azbel-Hofstadter problem) field, by making explicit a natural relation between the group of magnetic translations and the quantum group Uq(sl2). The approach allows us to express the "mid" band spectrum of the model and the Bloch wave function as solutions of the Bethe-Ansatz equations typical for completely integrable quantum systems. The zero mode wave functions are found explicitly in terms of q-deformed classical orthogonal polynomials.In this paper we present solution for the isotropic problem. We also present a class of solvable quasiperiodic equations related to Uq(sl2).
