Abstract
We consider discrete one-dimensional Schrödinger operators whose potentials belong to minimal subshifts of low combinatorial complexity and prove for a large class of such operators that the spectrum is a Cantor set of zero Lebesgue measure. This is obtained through an analysis of the frequencies of the subwords occurring in the potential. Our results cover most circle map and Arnoux–Rauzy potentials.
