Abstract
We consider a generalization of Dirac's comb model, describing a non-relativistic particle moving in a periodic array of generalized point interactions. The latter represent the most general point interactions rendering the kinetic-energy operator self-adjoint, and form a four-parameters family that includes the -potential and the -potential as particular cases. We study the parameter dependence of the spectral properties of this system, finding a rich isospectrality structure. We systematically classify a large class of isospectral relations, determining which Hamiltonians are spectrally unique, and which are instead related by a unitary or anti-unitary transformation.
