The eigenvalues of tridiagonal sign matrices are dense in the spectra of periodic tridiagonal sign operators

Abstract: Chandler-Wilde, Chonchaiya and Lindner conjectured that the set of eigenvalues of finite tridiagonal sign matrices (i.e. plus and minus ones on the first sub-and superdiagonal, zeroes everywhere else) is dense in the set of spectra of periodic tridiagonal sign operators on the usual Hilbert space of square summable bi-infinite sequences. We give a simple proof of this conjecture. As a consequence we get that the set of eigenvalues of tridiagonal sign matrices is dense in the unit disk. In fact, a recent paper … Show more

“…While many studies [39,[56][57][58][59][60][61][62][63] had focused on the fractallike spectrum of the FZ random-hopping model (67), the study in Ref. [27] found two new features of the model's inverse localization length, which we here reproduce by means of our Chebyshev-polynomial expansion (66).…”

“…For n ∈ N, k ∈ {±1} n , and ϕ ∈ R, let a k (ϕ) := A (n) k + e −iϕ R n + k n e iϕ R T n . The following characterisation of the spectra of periodic operators is well-known (see Lemma 1 and the discussion in [16]).…”

“…Then, connecting spectra of finite and infinite matrices, it has been shown in [4] that σ n ⊂ π 2n+2 , for n ∈ N, so that σ ∞ ⊂ π ∞ ⊂ Σ π . Further, [16] shows that σ ∞ is dense in π ∞ , so that Σ π = σ ∞ . In Section 3.1 we build on and extend these results, making a surprising connection between the eigenvalues of the finite matrices (1.8) and the spectra of the periodic operators associated to the polynomials in S. The result we prove (Theorem 3.8), is key to the later arguments in Section 4.…”
