Asymptotic almost periodicity conjecture for Widom–Hilbert factors

Let K(γ)K(\gamma) be the Cantor-type set associated with γ\gamma, let μK(γ)\mu_{K(\gamma)} be its associated measure, and let Wn2(μK(γ))W_n^2(\mu_{K(\gamma)}) be the corresponding Widom–Hilbert factors. Widom–Hilbert almost-periodicity conjecture.

(Wn2(μK(γ)))n=1\left(W_n^2\left(\mu_{K(\gamma)}\right)\right)_{n=1}^\infty

is asymptotically almost periodic if and only if K(γ)K(\gamma) is Parreau–Widom. If K(γ)K(\gamma) is Parreau–Widom, then the frequency module of the almost periodic limit includes the module generated by

{m2n}m,n{N0}\{m2^{-n}\}_{m,n\in\{N_0\}}

modulo 11. The claim would connect asymptotic almost periodicity of Widom–Hilbert factors to Parreau–Widom geometry; the source presents it as a conjecture based on numerical spectra and leaves it open.
