In this article we consider the one-dimensional Schrodinger operator L(Q) with a Hermitian periodic m by m matrix potential Q. We investigate the bands and gaps of the spectrum and prove that the main part of the positive real axis is…

The paper is concerned with the number of open gaps in spectra of periodic quantum graphs. The well-known conjecture by Bethe and Sommerfeld (1933) says that the number of open spectral gaps for a system periodic in more than one direction…

The adjacency operator of a graph has a spectrum and a class of scalar-valued spectral measures which have been systematically analyzed; it also has a spectral multiplicity function which has been less studied. The first purpose of this…
We review recent probabilistic results on covariant Schr\"odinger operators on vector bundles over (possibly locally infinite) weighted graphs, and explain applications like semiclassical limits. We also clarify the relationship between…
We address the question of convergence of Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs with general self-adjoint vertex conditions as lengths of some of graph's edges shrink to zero. We determine the limiting operator and study convergence in a…
