We study Sturmian dynamical systems and the spectrum of Schrödinger operators associated with these systems. Plotting the spectrum for each dynamical system gives rise to the so-called Kohmoto butterfly. In this talk we will discuss this butterfly, compare it with the Hofstadter butterfly and draw connections to so-called Farey numbers.
