Asymptotics of the density of states of hypoelliptic almost periodic operators

For a hypoelliptic differential operator with almost periodic coefficients asymptotics are found for the density of states, complete with a remainder term. Under certain conditions on the symbol of the operator the asymptotics imply an estimate on the length of the gaps in the given operator acting in $L^2(\mathbf R^n)$.
