Considering SL(2,R) skew-product maps over circle rotations,
we prove that a renormalization transformation
associated with the golden mean alpha
has a nontrivial periodic orbit of length 3.
We also present some numerical results,
including evidence that this period 3 describes
scaling properties of the Hofstadter butterfly
near the top of the spectrum at alpha,
and scaling properties of the generalized eigenfunction
for this energy.
