Abstract: Co-author: Roman Shterenberg (UAB)

We consider H=−Δ+V(x) in dimension two, V(x) being a quasi-periodic potential. We prove that the spectrum of H contains a semiaxis (Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture) and that there is a family of generalized eigenfunctions at every point of this semiaxis with the following properties. First, the eigenfunctions are close to plane waves ei⟨k⃗ ,x⃗ ⟩ at the high energy region. Second, the isoenergetic curves in the space of momenta k⃗ corresponding to these eigenfunctions have a form of slightly distorted circles with holes (Cantor type structure). It is shown that the spectrum corresponding to these eigenfunctions is absolutely continuous. A method of multiscale analysis in the momentum space is developed to prove the results.
