Absolutely continuous spectrum and scattering in the surface Maryland model
We study the discrete Schrödinger operator in with the surface quasi periodic potential , where . We first discuss a proof of the pure absolute continuity of the spectrum of on the interval (the spectrum of the discrete laplacian) in the case where the components of are rationally independent. Then we show that in this case the generalized eigenfunctions have the form of the “volume” waves, i.e. of the sum of the incident plane wave and reflected from the hyper-plane waves, the form...
