Floquet isospectrality for periodic graph operators
Abstract
Let with arbitrary positive integers , . Let be the discrete Schr\"odinger operator on , where is the discrete Laplacian on and the function is -periodic. We prove two rigidity theorems for discrete periodic Schr\"odinger operators: (1) If real-valued -periodic functions and satisfy and are Floquet isospectral and is separable, then is separable. (2) If complex-valued -periodic functions and satisfy and are Floquet isospectral, and both and are separable functions, then, up to a constant, lower dimensional decompositions and are Floquet isospectral, . Our theorems extend the results of Kappeler. Our approach is developed from the author's recent work on Fermi isospectrality and can be applied to study more general lattices.
