Abstract

For analytic quasiperiodic Schrödinger cocycles, Goldshtein and Schlag [Hölder continuity of the integrated density of states for quasi-periodic Schrödinger equations and averages of shifts of subharmonic functions. Ann. of Math. (2) 154 (2001), 155–203] proved that the Lyapunov exponent is Hölder continuous provided that the base frequency $\omega $ satisfies a strong Diophantine condition. In this paper, we give a refined large deviation theorem, which implies the Hölder continuity of the Lyapunov exponent for all Diophantine frequencies $\omega $, even for weak Liouville $\omega $, which improves the result of Goldshtein and Schlag.
