Diagonalization in a quantum kicked rotor model with non-analytic potential

Abstract: In this paper we study the lattice quasi-periodic operators with power-law long-range hopping and meromorphic monotone potentials, and diagonalize the operators via a Nash-Moser iteration scheme. As applications, we obtain uniform power-law localization, uniform dynamical localization and Lipschitz continuity of the integrated density of states (IDS) for such operators. Our main motivation comes from investigating quantum suppression of chaos in a quantum kicked rotor model with non-analytical potential.
