| contents | We study the unitary almost Mathieu operator (UAMO), a one-dimensional quasi-periodic unitary operator arising from a two-dimensional discrete-time quantum walk on $\mathbb Z^2$ in a homogeneous magnetic field. In the positive Lyapunov exponent regime $0\le λ_1<λ_2\le 1$, we establish an arithmetic localization statement governed by the frequency exponent $β(ω)$. More precisely, for every irrational $ω$ with $β(ω)<L$, where $L>0$ denotes the Lyapunov exponent, and every non-resonant phase $θ$, we prove Anderson localization, i.e. pure point spectrum with exponentially decaying eigenfunctions. This extends our previous arithmetic localization result for Diophantine frequencies (for which $β(ω)=0$) to a sharp threshold in frequency. |
