Review text

Denote by \(\mu\) the integrated density of states of the almost Mathieu operator with (irrational) frequency \(\alpha\) and coupling constant \(\beta\). It is proved that NEWLINE\[NEWLINE\int\log|z-s|d\mu(s)= \max\{0, \log|\beta|\}NEWLINE\]NEWLINE if \(z\) belongs to the spectrum \(\text{Sp}(\alpha, \beta)\) and \(\alpha\) satisfies a certain Diophantine condition. This equality implies in particular that \(\text{Sp}(\alpha, \beta)\) is a regular compactum and \(\mu\) is its equilibrium distribution. Moreover, the concept of a (in-)complete scale of function algebras is introduced and a generic construction is discussed that may be used to extend the above-mentioned result to a more general class of parameters \(\alpha\), \(\beta\).
