Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for periodic operators with strong perturbations
We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operator $H=(-Δ)^m+B$, $m>0$, 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 $2m$. Under these assumptions, we prove that the spectrum of $H$ contains a half-line. This, in particular implies the Bethe-Sommerfeld Conjecture for the Schrödinger operator with a periodic magnetic potential in all dimensions.

Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture in semiclassical settings
Under certain assumptions (including $d\ge 2)$ we prove that the spectrum of a scalar operator in $\mathscr{L}^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$ \begin{equation*} A_\varepsilon (x,hD)= A^0(hD) + \varepsilon B(x,hD), \end{equation*} covers interval $(τ-ε,τ+ε)$, where $A^0$ is an elliptic operator and $B(x,hD)$ is a periodic perturbation, $\varepsilon=O(h^\varkappa)$, $\varkappa>0$. Further, we consider generalizations.

On the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for periodic Maxwell operators
The Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture states that the spectrum of the stationary Schrodinger operator with a periodic potential in dimensions higher than 1 has only finitely many gaps. After work done by many authors, it has been proven by now in full generality. The similar conjecture in presence of a periodic magnetic potential has been proven in dimension 2 only. Another case of a significant interest, due to its importance for the photonic crystal theory, is of a periodic Maxwell operator, where apparently no results of such kind are known. We establish here that in the case of a 2D photonic cry…

Discrete Bethe-Sommerfeld Conjecture
In this paper, we prove a discrete version of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture. Namely, we show that the spectra of multi-dimensional discrete periodic Schrödinger operators on $\mathbb{Z}^d$ lattice with sufficiently small potentials contain at most two intervals. Moreover, the spectrum is a single interval, provided one of the periods is odd, and can have a gap whenever all periods are even.

Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for pseudodifferential perturbation
We consider a periodic pseudodifferential operator $H=(-Δ)^l+A$ ($l>0$) in $\R^d$ which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of $H$ is smooth in $x$, and (ii) the perturbation $A$ has order smaller than $2l-1$. Under these assumptions, we prove that the spectrum of $H$ contains a half-line.

Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for periodic Schroedinger operators in strip
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight planar strip perturbed by a bounded periodic symmetric operator. We prove the classical Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for this operator, namely, that this operator has finitely many gaps in its spectrum provided a certain special function written as a series satisfies some lower bound. We show that this is indeed the case if the ratio of the period and the width of strip is less than a certain explicit number, which is approximately equal to 0.10121. We also find explicitly the point in the spectrum, above which there is no internal gaps. We then…

Discrete Bethe--Sommerfeld Conjecture for Triangular, Square, and Hexagonal Lattices
We study discrete Schrödinger operators on the graphs corresponding to the triangular lattice, the hexagonal lattice, and the square lattice with next-nearest neighbor interactions. For each of these lattice geometries, we analyze the behavior of small periodic potentials. In particular, we provide sharp bounds on the number of gaps that may perturbatively open, we describe sharp arithmetic criteria on the periods that ensure that no gaps open, and we characterize those energies at which gaps may open in the perturbative regime. In all three cases, we provide examples that open the maximal num…

Periodic quantum graphs from the Bethe-Sommerfeld perspective
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 is finite. To the date its validity is established for numerous systems, however, it is known that quantum graphs do not comply with this law as their spectra have typically infinitely many gaps, or no gaps at all. These facts gave rise to the question about the existence of quantum graphs with the `Bethe-Sommerfeld property', that is, featuring a nonzero fi…

Quantum graphs with the Bethe-Sommerfeld property
In contrast to the usual quantum systems which have at most a finite number of open spectral gaps if they are periodic in more than one direction, periodic quantum graphs may have gaps arbitrarily high in the spectrum. This property of graph Hamiltonians, being generic in a sense, inspires the question about the existence of graphs with a finite and nonzero number of spectral gaps. We show that the answer depends on the vertex couplings together with commensurability of the graph edges. A finite and nonzero number of gaps is excluded for graphs with scale invariant couplings; on the other hand…

Periodic and limit-periodic discrete Schrödinger operators
The theory of discrete periodic and limit-periodic Schrödinger operators is developed. In particular, the Floquet--Bloch decomposition is discussed. Furthermore, it is shown that an arbitrarily small potential can add a gap for even periods. In dimension two, it is shown that for coprime periods small potential terms don't add gaps thus proving a Bethe--Sommerfeld type statement. Furthermore limit-periodic potentials whose spectrum is an interval are constructed.

Spectra of Discrete Two-Dimensional Periodic Schrödinger Operators with Small Potentials
We show that the spectrum of a discrete two-dimensional periodic Schrödinger operator on a square lattice with a sufficiently small potential is an interval, provided the period is odd in at least one dimension. In general, we show that the spectrum may consist of at most two intervals and that a gap may only open at energy zero. This sharpens several results of Krüger and may be thought of as a discrete version of the Bethe--Sommerfeld conjecture. We also describe an application to the study of two-dimensional almost-periodic operators.

The almost periodic gauge transform -- An abstract scheme with applications to Dirac Operators
One of the main tools used to understand both qualitative and quantitative spectral behaviour of periodic and almost periodic Schrödinger operators is the method of gauge transform. In this paper, we extend this method to an abstract setting, thus allowing for greater flexibility in its applications that include, among others, matrix-valued operators. In particular, we obtain asymptotic expansions for the density of states of certain almost periodic systems of elliptic operators, including systems of Dirac type. We also prove that a range of periodic systems including the two-dimensional Dirac…
