Bellissard's Gap Labeling Conjecture for Cantor actions
Bellissard's Gap Labeling Conjecture for Cantor actions
Let be a Cantor set, meaning a compact, totally disconnected metric space without isolated points, and let act freely and minimally on , with invariant probability measure . The measure induces a trace , while the action induces the crossed-product algebra and its trace . Write the induced maps on K-theory with the same symbols. Bellissard's Gap Labeling Conjecture. One has
The conjecture identifies the possible spectral gaps of associated Schrödinger operators with the range of the canonical trace on the K-theory of the crossed-product algebra. The paper presents a proof using an appropriate version of Connes' index theorem for foliated spaces, so the claim is solved in this source.
