All-coupling frequency independence of Sturmian spectral dimensions

About 12 years old · traced to

Let d706>0d706>0 and let d6fc∈(0,1)∖Qd6fc\in(0,1)\setminus\mathbb{Q} be an irrational frequency. Denote by d6a9λ,αd6a9_{\lambda,\alpha} the phase-independent spectrum of the corresponding Sturmian Schrödinger operator. The paper proves that the Hausdorff and upper box-counting dimensions are almost everywhere constant in d6fcd6fc when d706≥24d706\geq24. Large-coupling conjecture. The assumption d706≥24d706\geq24 can be dropped in the theorem, so the same almost-everywhere constancy holds for every d706>0d706>0. A proof is described as currently well out of reach because the methods rely essentially on large coupling.
