Abstract: We prove that the exponential decay rate in expectation is well defined and is equal to the Lyapunov exponent, for supercritical almost Mathieu operators with Diophantine frequencies.

Review text

The authors consider the almost Mathieu operator \[ (H_{\lambda,\alpha,\theta}u)(n)= u(n+1)+ u(n- 1)+2\lambda\cos 2\pi(\alpha n+\theta)u(n) \] by its action on \(u \in\ell^2(\mathbb{Z})\). Here \(\lambda\neq0\) is the coupling, \(\alpha\in\mathbb{R}\backslash\mathbb{Q}\) is the frequency, and \(\theta\in\mathbb{R}\) is the phase. They prove that for supercritical almost Mathieu operators with Diophantine frequencies the exponential decay rate in expectation is well defined and is equal to the Lyapunov exponent.
