We construct multidimensional Schrodinger operators with a spectrum that has no gaps at high energies and that is nowhere dense at low energies. This gives the first example for which this widely expected topological structure of the spectrum in the class of uniformly recurrent Schrodinger operators, namely the coexistence of a half-line and a Cantor-type structure, can be confirmed. Our construction uses Schrodinger operators with separable potentials that decompose into one-dimensional potentials generated by the Fibonacci sequence and relies on the study of such operators via the trace map and the Fricke-Vogt invariant. To show that the spectrum contains a half-line, we prove an abstract Bethe--Sommerfeld criterion for sums of Cantor sets which may be of independent interest.

We show that a generic quasi-periodic Schrodinger operator in $L^2(mathbb{R})$ has purely singular spectrum. That is, for any minimal translation flow on a finite-dimensional torus, there is a residual set of continuous sampling functions such that for each of these sampling functions, the Schrodinger operator with the resulting potential has empty absolutely continuous spectrum.
We consider the Schrodinger operator $H_{eta W} = -Delta + eta W$, self-adjoint in $L^2({mathbb R}^d)$, $d geq 1$. Here $eta$ is a non constant almost periodic function, while $W$ decays slowly and regularly at infinity. We study the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum of $H_{eta W}$ near the origin, and due to the irregular decay of $eta W$, we encounter some non semiclassical phenomena. In particular, $H_{eta W}$ has less eigenvalues than suggested by the semiclassical intuition.
We propose a new method to prove Anderson localization for quasiperiodic Schrodinger operators and apply it to the quasiperiodic model considered by Sinai and Frohlich-Spencer-Wittwer. More concretely, we prove Anderson localization for even $C^2$ cosine type quasiperiodic Schrodinger operators with large coupling constants, Diophantine frequencies and Diophantine phases.
We give sufficient conditions for the presence of the absolutely continuous spectrum of a Schrodinger operator on a regular rooted tree without loops (also called regular Bethe lattice or Cayley tree).
We consider a family ${mathcal{H}^varepsilon}_{varepsilon>0}$ of $varepsilonmathbb{Z}^n$-periodic Schrodinger operators with $delta$-interactions supported on a lattice of closed compact surfaces; within a minimal period cell one has $minmathbb{N}$ surfaces. We show that in the limit when $varepsilonto 0$ and the interactions strengths are appropriately scaled, $mathcal{H}^varepsilon$ has at most $m$ gaps within finite intervals, and moreover, the limiting behavior of the first $m$ gaps can be completely controlled through a suitable choice of those surfaces and of the interactions strengths.
