By constructing the transfer matrix equations of onedimensional (1D) quasiperiodic operators from rational approximate projected Green's functions, we relate the quasiperiodic Lyapunov exponents to the chiral edge modes of rational-flux Hofstadter Hamiltonians. We thereby show that the insulating phase is rooted in a topological "bulk-bulk" correspondence, a bulk-boundary correspondence between the 1D Aubry-Andre system (boundary) and its two-dimensional (2D) parent Hamiltonian (bulk). We extend this connection to random disorder via a Fourier expansion in quasiperiodic modes, demonstrating our results are widely applicable to systems beyond this paradigmatic model. The uncorrelated disorder limit is characterized by the breakdown of bulk-boundary driven quasiperiodic localization. 收起
