Continuity of the Lyapunov Exponent for Quasiperiodic Operators with Analytic Potential

We study regularity properties of the Lyapunov exponent L of one-frequency quasiperiodic operators with analytic potential, under no assumptions on the Diophantine class of the frequency. We prove joint continuity of L, in frequency and energy, at every irrational frequency.
