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…

We study in a semiclassical regime a two-dimensional magnetic periodic Schr\"odinger operator. We first review some results for the square (Harper), triangular and hexagonal (case of the graphene) lattices. Then we study the case considered…
We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator $H=(-\Delta)^m+B$, $m>0$, in $\R^d$ which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of $B$ is smooth in $\bx$, and (ii) the perturbation $B$ has order less than $2m$.…
