Large Deviation theorems for Dirichlet determinants of analytic quasi-periodic Jacobi operators with Brjuno-Rüssmann frequency

Abstract

In this paper, we first study the strong Birkhoff Ergodic Theorem for subharmonic functions with the Brjuno-Rüssmann shift on the Torus. Then, we apply it to prove the large deviation theorems for the finite scale Dirichlet determinants of quasi-periodic analytic Jacobi operators with this frequency. It shows that the Brjuno-Rüssmann function, which reflects the irrationality of the frequency, plays the key role in these theorems via the smallest deviation. At last, as an application, we obtain a distribution of the eigenvalues of the Jacobi operators with Dirichlet boundary conditions, which also depends on the smallest deviation, essentially on the irrationality of the frequency.
