Abstract

A Jacobi matrix with matrix entries is a selfadjoint block tridiagonal matrix with positive definite blocks on the off-diagonals. A rotation number calculation for its eigenvalues is presented. This is a matricial generalization of the oscillation theorem for the discrete analogues of Sturm-Liouville operators. The three universality classes of time reversal invariance are dealt with by implementing the corresponding symmetries. For Jacobi matrices with random matrix entries, this leads to a formula for the integrated density of states which can be calculated perturbatively in the coupling constant of the randomness with an optimal control on the error terms.
