Abstract
We show that positive Lyapunov exponents imply upper quantum dynamical bounds for Schrödinger operators Hf,θ u(n) = u(n+1) + u(n-1) + ϕ (fnθ)u(n), where ϕ: M → ℝ is a piecewise Hölder function on a compact Riemannian manifold M, and f: M→M is a uniquely ergodic volume-preserving map with zero topological entropy. As corollaries we also obtain localization-type statements for shifts and skew-shifts on higher-dimensional tori with arithmetic conditions on the parameters. These are the first localization-type results with precise arithmetic conditions for multifrequency quasiperiodic and skew-shift potentials.
