Some examples of cocycles with simple continuous singular spectrum
We study spectral properties of Anzai skew products defined by , where α is irrational and φ: → is a measurable cocycle. Precisely, we deal with the case where φ is piecewise absolutely continuous such that the sum of all jumps of φ equals zero. It is shown that the simple continuous singular spectrum of on the orthocomplement of the space of functions depending only on the first variable is a “typical” property in the above-mentioned class of cocycles, if α admits a sufficiently fast approximation....
