Abstract
In the theory of ergodic one-dimensional Schrödinger operators, the ac spectrum has been traditionally expected to be very rigid. Two key conjectures in this direction state, on the one hand, that the ac spectrum demands almost periodicity of the potential, and, on the other hand, that the eigenfunctions are almost surely bounded in the essential support of the ac spectrum. We show how the repeated slow deformation of periodic potentials can be used to break rigidity, and disprove both conjectures.
