The paper proves quantitative Green’s function bounds for quasi‑periodic operators with power‑law hopping via a multiscale scheme built around Schur complements and a constructive left‑inverse method, delivering (i) a 0‑norm bound of order δ_s^{-2/15} times a product of inverse resonance distances to ±θ_s, and (ii) an α‑norm bound of order ζ_s^α δ_s^{-14/3}, plus a saturated “in particular” improvement δ_s^{-32/15} on a slightly enlarged domain Λ̃ (within distance 50 N_s^5) when Λ̃* is s‑nonresonant (Theorem 1.1 and Statement 4.1; see 1.6, 1.5, 4.3, 4.14, 4.16–4.17, and the “in particular” clause with (1.8) and δ_s^{-32/15} in Theorem 1.1) . The candidate solution establishes the same end results using a quantitatively controlled multiscale/Feshbach (Schur complement) induction with weighted Sobolev‑type operator norms, curvature class v ∈ V_R, the same scale recursion δ_{s+1} ≍ δ_s^{30}, N_{s+1} ≍ (γ/δ_s)^{1/(30τ)}, and the same block separation/containment axioms. It reconstructs T_Λ^{-1} from the block‑reduced inverse and proves the two bounds, matching (4.16)–(4.17) and the saturation improvement as in Theorem 1.1’s “in particular” (1.8) . Differences: the paper handles a two‑case geometry (C1)/(C2) with potential 1/2‑shifts (equations (4.4)–(4.7)) and builds zeros via Rouché/Schur and robust left inverses, whereas the model posits an implicit‑function construction f_s(z)=v(z)−E+h_s(z) and does not explicitly treat the (C2) half‑shift. Despite these presentational differences, the model’s argument tracks the same induction architecture and yields the same quantitative conclusions under the paper’s hypotheses.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} strong field \textbf{Justification:} The manuscript rigorously proves quantitative Green’s function estimates for quasi-periodic operators with power-law hopping, using a careful multiscale scheme that blends Schur complement reductions and a constructive left-inverse framework. The results match expected scalings and enable downstream applications (localization, IDS regularity). The presentation is comprehensive; light revisions would further clarify the two-case geometry and the book-keeping of constants.
