Dispersive estimate for quasi-periodic Schrödinger operators on 1-$d$ lattices

Abstract

Consider the one-dimensional discrete Schrödinger operator $H_θ$: $$(H_θ q)_n=-(q_{n+1}+q_{n-1})+ V(θ+nω) q_n \ , \quad n\in Z \ ,$$ with $ω\in R^d$ Diophantine, and $V$ a real-analytic function on $ T^d=( R/2πZ)^d$. For $V$ sufficiently small, we prove the dispersive estimate: {for every $ϕ\in\ell^1( Z)$,} $$ \| e^{-{\rm i}tH_θ}ϕ\|_{\ell^\infty} \leq K_0 \frac{ |\ln\varepsilon_0|^{a(\ln\ln(2+\langle t\rangle))^2 d}} {\langle t\rangle^{\frac13}} \|ϕ\|_{\ell^1} \ , \quad \langle t \rangle:=\sqrt{1+t^2} \ ,$$ {with $a$ and $K_0$ two absolute constants} and $\varepsilon_0$ an analytic norm of $V$. The estimate holds for every $θ\in T^d$.
