Another striking characteristic of the almost Mathieu operator is that its spectrum is a [[Cantor set]] for all irrational <math>\alpha</math> and <math>\lambda > 0</math>. This was shown by [[Artur Avila|Avila]] and [[Svetlana Jitomirskaya|Jitomirskaya]] solving the by-then famous "ten martini problem"<ref>{{cite journal |first=A. |last=Avila |first2=S. |last2=Jitomirskaya |title=The Ten Martini problem |work=Preprint |year=2005 |arxiv=math/0503363 |bibcode=2006LNP...690....5A |doi=10.1007/3-540-34273-7_2 }}</ref> (also one of Simon's problems) after several earlier results (including generically<ref>{{cite journal |first=J. |last=Bellissard |first2=B. |last2=Simon |title=Cantor spectrum for the almost Mathieu equation |journal=[[Journal of Functional Analysis|J.

Furthermore, the [[Lebesgue measure]] of the spectrum of the almost Mathieu operator is known to be
