Approximating spectral invariants of Harper operators on graphs

Abstract. We study Harper operators and the closely related discrete magnetic Laplacians (DML) on a graph with a free action of a discrete group, as defined by Sunada [Sun]. The spectral density function of the DML is defined using the von Neumann trace associated with the free action of a discrete...
