Abstract: Let $f$ be a regular non-constant symbol defined on the $d$-dimensional torus ${mathbbT}^d$ with values on the unit circle. Denote respectively by $kappa$ and $L$, its set of critical points and the associated Laurent operator on $l^2({mathbbZ}^d)$. Let $U$ be a suitable unitary local perturbation of $L$. We show that the operator $U$ has finite point spectrum and no singular continuous component away from the set $f(kappa)$. We apply these results and provide a new approach to analyze the spectral properties of GGT matrices with asymptotically constant Verblunsky coefficients. The proofs are based on positive commutator techniques. We also obtain some propagation estimates.

Review text

Let \(L_f\) be a Laurent operator defined by a symbol \(f\). The critical points of \(f\) are denoted by \(\kappa\). \(U\) is assumed to be a suitable unitary local perturbation of \(L_f\). If \(f\) satisfies some continuity conditions and if \(U\) is in a certain regularity class with respect to the operator \(L_f\) such that \(L^\ast_fU- I\) is compact, then the spectrum of \(U\) has locally no singular continuous spectrum and only a finite number of eigenvalues with finite multiplicity. Moreover, a limiting absorption principle for \(U\) holds on subset of \(\partial D\) which do not intersect \(\sigma_{pp}(U)\) and \(f(\kappa)\). The proofs of this results, which use regular Mourre theory, are developed in Section 4. As an application, the authors study the spectrum of GGT matrices. Finally, propagation estimates and regularity classes are studied in some more detail. For Part I see [the authors, J. Funct. Anal. 268, No. 8, 2188--2230 (2015; Zbl 1330.81090)].
