On the Bethe-sommerfeld Conjecture for the Polyharmonic Operator
It is a general property of elliptic differential operators with periodic coefficients, that their spectra are formed by union of closed intervals called spectral bands (see [12], [14]) possibly separated by gaps. One of the challenging questions of the spectral theory of periodic operators is to find out whether or not the number of gaps in the spectrum of a given operator is finite. The state...
متن کاملBethe-sommerfeld Conjecture for Periodic Operators with Strong Perturbations
Abstract. We consider a periodic self-adjoint pseudo-differential operatorH = (−∆)m+ B, m > 0, in R which satisfies the following conditions: (i) the symbol of B is smooth in x, 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...
متن کاملTwisted Index Theory on Good Orbifolds, I: Noncommutative Bloch Theory
We study the twisted index theory of elliptic operators on orbifold covering spaces of compact good orbifolds, which are invariant under a projective action of the orbifold fundamental group. We apply these results to obtain qualitative results on real and complex hyperbolic spaces in 2 and 4 dimensions, related to generalizations of the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture and the Ten Martini Problem, ...
متن کاملOn the Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture for certain periodic Maxwell operators
The Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture states that the spectrum of the stationary Schrödinger 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. Another case of a significant interest, due to its importance for the photonic crystal theory, is of a periodic Maxwell operator, where app...
متن کاملPeriodic 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 spectr...
