We consider a system of interacting fermions on a chain in a periodic poten
tial incommensurate with the chain spacing. We derive a convergent perturba
tive expansion, afflicted by a small denominator problem and based on renor
malization group, for the two point Schwinger function. We obtain the large
distance behavior of the Schwinger function, which is anomalous and descri
bed by critical indices, related to the gap and the wave function renormali
zation.
