The critical point degree of a periodic graph operator is the number of critical points of its complex Bloch variety. Determining it is a step towards the spectral edges conjecture and more generally understanding Bloch varieties. Previous…

For periodic graph operators, we establish criteria to determine the overlaps of spectral band functions based on Bloch varieties. One criterion states that for a large family of periodic graph operators, the irreducibility of Bloch…

Periodic $2$nd order ordinary differential operators on $\R$ are known to have the edges of their spectra to occur only at the spectra of periodic and antiperiodic boundary value problems. The multi-dimensional analog of this property is…

This continues the investigation of a combinatorial model for the variation of dynamics in the family of rational maps of degree two, by concentrating on those varieties in which one critical point is periodic. We prove some general results…

We derive a sharp criterion on the spectra of periodic discrete Schr\"odinger operators acting on connected periodic lattices: the measure of the spectrum goes to zero as the coupling constant goes to infinity if and only if there is no…

We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with real periodic potentials on periodic graphs. The spectra of the operators consist of a finite number of bands. By "rolling up" a periodic graph along some appropriate directions we obtain…

We define the independence ratio and the chromatic number for bounded, self-adjoint operators on an L^2-space by extending the definitions for the adjacency matrix of finite graphs. In analogy to the Hoffman bounds for finite graphs, we…

Let $(\cX, \rho)$ be a discrete metric space. We suppose that the group $\sZ^n$ acts freely on $X$ and that the number of orbits of $X$ with respect to this action is finite. Then we call $X$ a $\sZ^n$-periodic discrete metric space. We…

We study the spectrum of some periodic differential operators, in particular the periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operator acting on infinite $n$-cubic graphs. Using Floquet-Bloch theory, we derive and analyze on the dispersion relations of the…

We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators $H_{\mu Q}=\Delta+\mu Q$ with real periodic potentials $Q$ on periodic graphs, where $\Delta$ is the adjacency operator and $\mu\in\mathbb R$ is a coupling constant. The spectra of the operators…

Coordination sequences of periodic and quasiperiodic graphs are analysed. These count the number of points that can be reached from a given point of the graph by a number of steps along its bonds, thus generalising the familiar coordination…

We determine the maximum order of an element in the critical group of a strongly regular graph, and show that it achieves the spectral bound due to Lorenzini. We extend the result to all graphs with exactly two non-zero Laplacian…

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…

The article surveys the main techniques and results of the spectral theory of periodic operators arising in mathematical physics and other areas. Close attention is paid to studying analytic properties of Bloch and Fermi varieties, which…

We consider selfadjoint operators obtained by pasting a finite number of boundary relations with one-dimensional boundary space. A typical example of such an operator is the Schr\"odinger operator on a star-graph with a finite number of…

We consider discrete periodic operator on $\mathbb Z^d$ with respect to lattices $\Gamma\subset\mathbb Z^d$ of full rank. We describe the class of lattices $\Gamma$ for which the operator may have a spectral gap for arbitrarily small…

We consider discrete Schr\"odinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic graphs. Their spectra consist of a finite number of bands. We perturb a periodic graph by adding edges in a periodic way (without changing the vertex set) and…

For a non-arithmetic Veech surface, it is known that the set points having finite orbit under the Veech group, called the set of periodic points, is finite. However, few examples of these periodic point sets have been computed. In what…

We use B\'{e}zout's theorem and Bernstein-Khovanskii-Kushnirenko theorem to analyze the level sets of the extrema of the spectral band functions of discrete periodic Schr\"odinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^2$. These approaches improve upon…

Let V $\subset$ C n be an equidimensional algebraic set and g be an n-variate polynomial with rational coefficients. Computing the critical points of the map that evaluates g at the points of V is a cornerstone of several algorithms in real…
