    Given a constant magnetic field on Euclidean space Rp{\mathbb R}^p determined by a skew-symmetric (p×p)(p\times p) matrix Θ\Theta, and a Zp{\mathbb Z}^p-invariant probability measure μ\mu on the disorder set Σ\Sigma which is by hypothesis a Cantor set, where the action is assumed to be minimal, the corresponding Integrated Density of States of any self-adjoint operator affiliated to the twisted crossed product algebra C(Σ)⋊σZpC(\Sigma) \rtimes_\sigma {\mathbb Z}^p, where σ\sigma is the multiplier on Zp{\mathbb Z}^p associated to Θ\Theta, takes on values on spectral gaps in the magnetic gap-labelling group. The magnetic frequency group is defined as an explicit countable subgroup of R\mathbb R involving Pfaffians of Θ\Theta and its sub-matrices. We conjecture that the magnetic gap labelling group is a subgroup of the magnetic frequency group. We give evidence for the validity of our conjecture in 2D, 3D, the Jordan block diagonal case and the periodic case in all dimensions.Comment: 43 pages. Exposition improve
