Abstract:
The talk is based on joint works [KPS], [KKPS] with S. Krymskii, L. Parnovski, and R. Shterenberg.
We consider quasiperiodic operators on $\mathbb Z^d$ of the form
$$
(H(x)\psi)_{\mathbf n}=(\Delta \psi)_{\mathbf n}+\varepsilon f(x+{\mathbf n}\cdot\omega)\psi_{\mathbf n},
$$
where $f$ is a monotone function that maps the interval $(0,1)$ onto $(-\infty,+\infty)$ and is extended into $\mathbb R$ by $1$-periodicity. The frequency vector $\omega$ is assumed to satisfy a Diophantine property (and, in particular, have rationally independent components). For small $\varepsilon>0$ and under some additional monotonicity assumptions on $f$, we construct a diagonalization of such operator by direct analysis of the perturbation series.
