Transverse intersection conjecture for dimension functions of quadratic Sturmian spectra

For each quadratic irrationality α\alpha, let Σα,λ\Sigma_{\alpha,\lambda} be the spectrum of the corresponding Sturmian Hamiltonian at coupling constant λ\lambda. Transverse intersection conjecture. There exist quadratic irrationalities α1\alpha_1 and α2\alpha_2 such that the graphs of

λdimHΣα1,λ\lambda\mapsto\dim_H\Sigma_{\alpha_1,\lambda}

and

λdimHΣα2,λ\lambda\mapsto\dim_H\Sigma_{\alpha_2,\lambda}

intersect transversely at some point λ0\lambda_0. Such an intersection would provide the crossing mechanism needed to produce non-differentiability in an associated non-stationary dimension function; analytic dependence is known for each individual quadratic irrationality.
