Abstract

We consider continuous cocycles arising from CMV and Jacobi matrices. Assuming that the Verblunsky and Jacobi coefficients arise from generalized skew-shifts, we prove that uniform hyperbolicity of the associated cocycles is $C^0$ -dense. This implies that the associated CMV and Jacobi matrices have a Cantor spectrum for a generic continuous sampling map.
