Abstract We consider one-dimensional quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators with analytic potentials. In the positive Lyapunov exponent regime, we prove large deviation estimates, which lead to refined Hölder continuity of the Lyapunov exponents and the integrated density of states, in both small Lyapunov exponent and large coupling regimes. Our results cover all the Diophantine frequencies and some Liouville frequencies.more » « less

Abstract Consider averages along the prime integers ℙ given by {\mathcal{A}_N}f(x) = {N^{ - 1}}\sum\limits_{p \in \mathbb{P}:p \le N} {(\log p)f(x - p).} These averages satisfy a uniform scale-free ℓ p -improving estimate. For all 1 < p < 2, there is a constant C p so that for all integer N and functions f supported on [0, N ], there holds {N^{ - 1/p'}}{\left\| {{\mathcal{A}_N}f} \right\|_{\ell p'}} \le {C_p}{N^{ - 1/p}}{\left\| f \right\|_{\ell p}}. The maximal function 𝒜 * f = sup N |𝒜 N f | satisfies ( p , p ) sparse bounds for all 1 < p < 2. The latter are the natural variants of the scale-free bounds. As a corollary, 𝒜 * is bounded on ℓ p ( w ), for all weights w in the Muckenhoupt 𝒜 p class. No prior weighted inequalities for 𝒜 * were known.more » « less

We prove a conditional theorem on the positivity of the Lyapunov exponent for a Schrödinger cocycle over a skew-shift base with a cosine potential and the golden ratio as frequency. For coupling below $$1$$ , which is the threshold for Herman’s subharmonicity trick, we formulate three conditions on the Lyapunov exponent in a finite but large volume and on the associated large-deviation estimates at that scale. Our main results demonstrate that these finite-size conditions imply the positivity of the infinite-volume Lyapunov exponent. This paper shows that it is possible to make the techniques developed for the study of Schrödinger operators with deterministic potentials, based on large-deviation estimates and the avalanche principle, effective.more » « less

Let $$ Tf =\sum _{I} \varepsilon _I \langle f,h_{I^+}\rangle h_{I^-}$$. Here, $$ \lvert \varepsilon _I\rvert =1 $$, and $$ h_J$$ is the Haar function defined on dyadic interval $ J$. We show that, for instance, $$\displaystyle \lVert T \rVert _{L ^{2} (w) \to L ^{2} (w)} \lesssim [w] _{A_2 ^{+}} .$$ Above, we use the one-sided $$ A_2$$ characteristic for the weight $ w$. This is an instance of a one-sided $$ A_2$$ conjecture. Our proof of this fact is difficult, as the very quick known proofs of the $$ A_2$$ theorem do not seem to apply in the one-sided setting.more » « less
