We consider a semi-periodic two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator which is cut at an angle. When the cut is commensurate with the periodic lattice, the spectrum of the operator has the band-gap Bloch structure. We prove that in the…
Let $(\lambda_-,\lambda_+)$ be a spectral gap of a periodic Schr\"odinger operator $A$ on the lattice ${\mathbb Z}^d$. Consider the operator $A(\alpha)=A-\alpha V$ where $V$ is a decaying positive potential on ${\mathbb Z}^d$. We study the…

It is well-known that entire functions whose spectrum belongs to a fixed bounded set $S$ admit real uniformly discrete uniqueness sets $\Lambda$. We show that the same is true for much wider spaces of continuous functions. In particular,…
