Spectral estimates for periodic Jacobi matrices
Abstract
We obtain bounds for the spectrum and for the total width of the spectral gaps for Jacobi matrices on $\ell^2(\Z)$ of the form $(Hψ)_n= a_{n-1}ψ_{n-1}+b_nψ_n+a_nψ_{n+1}$, where $a_n=a_{n+q}$ and $b_n=b_{n+q}$ are periodic sequences of real numbers. The results are based on a study of the quasimomentum $k(z)$ corresponding to $H$. We consider $k(z)$ as a conformal mapping in the complex plane. We obtain the trace identities which connect integrals of the Lyapunov exponent over the gaps with the normalised traces of powers of $H$.
