In 1980, Gasymov showed that non-self-adjoint Hill operators with complex-valued periodic potentials of the type $V(x)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty} a_k e^{ikx}$, with $\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}|a_k|<\infty$, have spectra $[0, \infty)$. In this note, we…

We study the multi-dimensional operator $(H_x u)_n=\sum_{|m-n|=1}u_{m}+f(T^n(x))u_n$, where $T$ is the shift of the torus $\T^d$. When $d=2$, we show the spectrum of $H_x$ is almost surely purely continuous for a.e. $\alpha$ and generic…

The spectrum of the Hermitian Hamiltonian $H=p^2+V(x)$ is real and discrete if the potential $V(x)\to\infty$ as $x\to\pm\infty$. However, if $V(x)$ is complex and PT-symmetric, it is conjectured that, except in rare special cases, $V(x)$…
