Spectral equations for the modular oscillator

Motivated by applications for non-perturbative topological strings in toric Calabi–Yau manifolds, we discuss the spectral problem for a pair of commuting modular conjugate (in the sense of Faddeev) Harper type operators, corresponding to a special case of the quantized mirror curve of local ${\mathbb{P}}^1\times {\mathbb{P}}^1$ and complex values of Planck’s constant. We illustrate our analytical results by numerical calculations.
