  1. We give a criterion based on reflection symmetries in the spirit of Jitomirskaya–Simon to show absence of point spectrum for (split-step) quantum walks and Cantero–Moral–Velázquez (CMV) matrices. To accomplish this, we use some ideas from a recent paper by the authors and collaborators to implement suitable reflection symmetries for such operators. We give several applications. For instance, we deduce arithmetic delocalization in the phase for the unitary almost-Mathieu operator and singular continuous spectrum for generic CMV matrices generated by the Thue–Morse subshift.

  2. Abstract We investigate the symmetries of the so-called generalized extended Cantero–Moral–Velázquez (CMV) matrices. It is well-documented that problems involving reflection symmetries of standard extended CMV matrices can be subtle. We show how to deal with this in an elegant fashion by passing to the class of generalized extended CMV matrices via explicit diagonal unitaries in the spirit of Cantero–Grünbaum–Moral–Velázquez. As an application of these ideas, we construct an explicit family of almost-periodic CMV matrices, which we call the mosaic unitary almost-Mathieu operator, and prove the occurrence of exact mobility edges. That is, we show the existence of energies that separate spectral regions with absolutely continuous and pure point spectrum and exactly calculate them.
