On the smoothness of gap boundaries for generalized Harper operators

Abstract
Various results concerning the smoothness of gap boundaries for Harper type operators are extended to a large class of "twisted integral operatos" in $L^2(Z^2)$. The results hold true also for analogous classes of operators in $L^2(R^n)$ and imply the fact that the gap boundaries for magnetic Schrodinger and Dirac operators are, up to a logarithmic factor, Lipschitz continuous in the magnetic field strenght. The proofs are based on gauge covariance and magnetic perturbation theory
