1 Asymptotic Spectral Properties of the Schrödinger Operator with Thue-Morse Potential William Clark Rachael Kline Michaela Stone Cornell SMI Advisors: May Mei and Andrew Zemke August 2, 2013
2 Introduction History 1984 An AIMn alloy demonstrated aperiodicity under x-ray diffraction, giving rise to new questions about material structure. This generated interest in mathematical exploration of aperiodic tilings. Figure : Al 6 Mn.
3 Introduction What is aperiodicity? Figure : Diffraction pattern of a periodic crystal.
4 Introduction What is aperiodicity? Figure : Diffraction pattern of an aperiodic quasicrystal.
5 Introduction Why do we care? Understanding the mathematics behind aperiodic tilings allows us to model the behavior of electrons traveling through quasicrystals. Properties: (Marder 2011) Directionally varying electrical conductivity Poor heat conductivity
6 Introduction Why do we care? Understanding the mathematics behind aperiodic tilings allows us to model the behavior of electrons traveling through quasicrystals. Properties: (Marder 2011) Uses: Directionally varying electrical conductivity Poor heat conductivity Surgical instruments LED lights Non-stick cookware
7 Introduction How do we mathematically model quasicrystals? 2-dimensional modeling: Tilings of the plane 1-dimensional modeling: Sequences
8 Introduction Constructing sequences A possible construction of these structures is generated using inflation rules that utilize a finite alphabet to represent the tiling. A substitution, σ, assigns a finite string of letters to each letter in the alphabet. Definition Letter - a single representative of the alphabet (a, b, c,...) Word - a collection of letters (ab, ba, abc,...)
9 Introduction One specific sequence, the Thue-Morse sequence, uses two letters, a and b with the substitutions σ(a) = ab, σ(b) = ba. We denote the sequence as u where u n is the n th letter in the sequence. Suppose u 0 = a, using the substitution we obtain the sequence: u = abbabaabbaababba... where the sequence is the limit of the substitutions as the length of the sequence goes to infinity.
10 Developing the Trace Map The 1D discrete Schrödinger operator with a Thue-Morse potential defined on the discrete 1-D lattice Z where V is the coupling constant, is H V ψ(n) = ψ(n + 1) + V (n)ψ(n) + ψ(n 1) where V (n) = V ( n 1) and V (n) = V whenever the n th letter of u is a and V (n) = V otherwise (by convention u 0 = a) [2].
11 Developing the Trace Map The Schrödinger equation in terms of transfer matrices Definition Let T (n) be the transfer matrix: [ ] E V (n) Then we can write the Schrödinger equation in terms of T (n) as follows: [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ] ψ(n + 1) E V (n) 1 ψ(n) ψ(n) = = T (n). ψ(n) 1 0 ψ(n 1) ψ(n 1)
12 Developing the Trace Map From matrix to map Using our understanding of the recursion in the Thue-Morse sequence and through application of trace properties and matrix identities, we are able to develop a trace map from R 2 to itself defined by: f (x, v) = (x 2 2 v, v(v + 4 x 2 )) with the initial conditions v 1 = 4V 2, and x 1 = E 2 V 2 2, where E is the energy and V is a coupling constant, a real parameter.
13 Developing the Trace Map Definition A point (x, v) is called unstable if there is a neighborhood U of (x, v) and an integer n 0 such that for all (x 1, v 1 ) in U and all N n 0, the iterated (x N, v N ) = f N (x 1, v 1 ) satisfies x N > 2. Proposition E, energy, values are out of the spectrum if and only if they correspond to an unstable (x, v) point. (Bellissard 1990)

17 Matrix Truncation Truncation The matrix representation of the Schrödinger operator acting on the Thue-Morse Sequence is the tridiagonal n n matrix: V(-2) V(-1) V(0) V(1) V(2) The spectrum of a matrix is defined as the set of its eigenvalues. By analysing the spectrum of these finite n n matrices, as n goes to infinity, we can approximate the spectrum of the operator.
18 Fractal Dimension Fractal Dimension Since the spectrum is a Cantor set with measure zero [2], we wish to analyse the fractal dimension of the spectrum for different coupling constants, V. The notions of fractal dimension we will be using include: Box-counting dimension Thickness Hausdorff dimension
19 Fractal Dimension How dimensions are related In an arbitrary set, F, we have the following relation: log 2 ( log ) dim H (F ) dim B (F ) : τ where τ is the thickness, dim H (F ) is the Hausdorff dimension, dim B (F ) is box-counting dimension (Falconer 2005, Palis et al. 1993).
20 Fractal Dimension Box-counting Dimension The box-counting dimension of a set F is: dim B F = lim δ 0 log N δ (F ) log δ, where N δ is the minimum cardinality of a δ-cover of F. This equation is assuming that the measure of the set F obeys the power law: N δ (F ) cδ s log(n δ ) log(c) s log(δ)
21 Fractal Dimension
22 Fractal Dimension Box-counting Dimension
23 Fractal Dimension Box-counting dimension
24 Fractal Dimension Thickness Another type of fractal dimension we will consider is the thickness of a Cantor set. Definition Let K R. A gap of K is a connected component R\K; a bounded gap is a bounded connected component of R\K. Let U be any bounded gap and u be a boundary point of U, so u K. Let C be the bridge of K at u, i.e. the maximal interval in R such that - u is a boundary point of C, - C contains no point of a gap U whose length l(u ) is at least the length of U [4].
25 Fractal Dimension Thickness Definition The thickness of K at u is defined as τ(k, u) = l(c)/l(u). The thickness of K, denoted by τ(k), is the infimum over these τ(k, u) for all boundary points u of bounded gaps.
26 Fractal Dimension Thickness Definition The thickness of K at u is defined as τ(k, u) = l(c)/l(u). The thickness of K, denoted by τ(k), is the infimum over these τ(k, u) for all boundary points u of bounded gaps. We cannot compute this directly as a lower bound for the Hausdorff dimension. We plug the calculation of thickness into the function: log 2 ( log ) τ
27 Fractal Dimension Thickness
28 Fractal Dimension Hausdorff Dimension Before the Hausdorff dimension can be defined, the Hausdorff measure of a set must be defined [3]: Definition The Hausdorff measure of a set F of dimension s, denoted by H s (F ), is: { { }} H s (F ) = lim inf U i s : {U i } is a δ-cover of F δ 0 i=1
29 Fractal Dimension Hausdorff Dimension With this in mind, we can define the Hausdorff dimension as follows[3]: Definition The Hausdorff dimension of a set F, denoted by dim H (F ), is: dim H (F ) = inf{s 0 : H s (F ) = 0} = sup{s : H s (F ) = } Specifically, dim H (F ) is the value of s where the Hausdorff measure jumps from to 0.
30 Fractal Dimension Using the Trace Map to compute Hausdorff dimension Suppose V = 0.03: s-values i
31 Fractal Dimension Using the Matrix Truncation to compute Hausdorff dimension Suppose V = 0.03, using a matrix: s-values i
