On the spectrum of Jacobi operators with quasiperiodic algebro-geometric coefficients
We characterize the spectrum of one-dimensional Jacobi operators
with quasiperiodiccomplex-valued algebro-geometric coefficients (which satisfy one(and hence infinitely many) equation(s) of the stationary Todahierarchy) associated with nonsingular hyperelliptic curves. Thespectrum of H coincides with the conditional stability set ofH and can explicitly be described in terms of the mean value ofthe Green's function of H. As a result, the spectrum of H consists of finitely many simple analytic arcs in the complex plane. Crossings as well as confluences of spectral arcs are possible and discussed as well.
