Abstract

We investigate the spectral theory of the invariant Landau Hamiltonian \Laν\La^\nu acting on the space FΓ,χν{\mathcal{F}}^\nu_{\Gamma,\chi} of (Γ,χ)(\Gamma,\chi)-automotphic functions on \Cn\C^n, for given real number ν>0\nu>0, lattice Γ\Gamma of \Cn\C^n and a map χ:ΓU(1)\chi:\Gamma\to U(1) such that the triplet (ν,Γ,χ)(\nu,\Gamma,\chi) satisfies a Riemann-Dirac quantization type condition. More precisely, we show that the eigenspace {\mathcal{E}}^\nu_{\Gamma,\chi}(\lambda)=\set{f\in {\mathcal{F}}^\nu_{\Gamma,\chi}; \La^\nu f = \nu(2\lambda+n) f}; λ\C,\lambda\in\C, is non trivial if and only if λ=l=0,1,2,...\lambda=l=0,1,2, .... In such case, EΓ,χν(l){\mathcal{E}}^\nu_{\Gamma,\chi}(l) is a finite dimensional vector space whose the dimension is given explicitly. We show also that the eigenspace EΓ,χν(0){\mathcal{E}}^\nu_{\Gamma,\chi}(0) associated to the lowest Landau level of \Laν\La^\nu is isomorphic to the space, OΓ,χν(\Cn){\mathcal{O}}^\nu_{\Gamma,\chi}(\C^n), of holomorphic functions on \Cn\C^n satisfying g(z+γ)=χ(γ)eν2γ2+ν\scalz,γg(z),\eqno() g(z+\gamma) = \chi(\gamma) e^{\frac \nu 2 |\gamma|^2+\nu\scal{z,\gamma}}g(z), \eqno{(*)} that we can realize also as the null space of the differential operator j=1n(2zjzˉj+νzˉjzˉj)\sum\limits_{j=1}\limits^n(\frac{-\partial^2}{\partial z_j\partial \bar z_j} + \nu \bar z_j \frac{\partial}{\partial \bar z_j}) acting on C\mathcal C^\infty functions on \Cn\C^n satisfying ()(*).
