Spectral gaps of almost Mathieu operators in the exponential regime

Abstract: For almost Mathieu operator

(H_{l a m b d a, a l p h a, h e t a} u)_{n} = u_{n + 1} + u_{n - 1} + 2 l a m b d a c o s 2 p i (h e t a + n a l p h a) u_{n}

, the dry version of Ten Martini problem predicts that the spectrum

S i g m a_{l a m b d a, a l p h a}

of

H_{l a m b d a, a l p h a, h e t a}

has all gaps open for all

l a m b d a e q 0

and

. Avila and Jitomirskaya prove that

S i g m a_{l a m b d a, a l p h a}

has all gaps open for Diophantine

a l p h a

and

0 < | l a m b d a | < 1

. In the present paper, we show that

S i g m a_{l a m b d a, a l p h a}

has all gaps open for all

with small

l a m b d a

.
