Abstract

We study the spectral gaps of the Schrödinger operatorwhere κ∈(0,2π) and are parameters. Let τ=2π−κ. Suppose that the ratio κ0:=τ/κ is irrational. We denote the jth gap of the spectrum of H by Gj, its length by |Gj|. We obtain a relationship between the asymptotic behaviour of |Gj| as j→∞ and the Diophantine properties of κ0. In particular, we show that if β1+β2=0, thenwhere M(κ0) stands for the Markov constant of κ0.
