On isospectral potentials on a discrete lattice. II (Q1122054)

Let L be a sublattice of \({\mathbb{Z}}^ d\) of the form \(L=p{\mathbb{Z}}\oplus...\oplus p{\mathbb{Z}}\) with \(p\geq 2\) an integer. Then consider the discrete Schrödinger equation (1) \((\Delta_{discrete}+Q)u(x)=\lambda u(x)\) (x in \({\mathbb{Z}}^ d)\) (2) \(u(x+\ell)=e^{i\alpha \ell}u(x)\) (x in \({\mathbb{Z}}^ d\), \(\ell\) in L), where \(\Delta_{discrete}u(x)=\sum_{| y-x| =1}u(y)\) and Q is an L-periodic, possibly complex-valued potential. \(\alpha\) is an arbitrary vector in \({\mathbb{R}}^ d\) called the crystal momentum. For a given L-periodic, possibly complex-valued potential Q define \(Iso^{{\mathbb{C}}}_{\alpha}(Q)\) to be the set of all L-periodic potentials P such that the spectrum of \(\Delta_{discrete}+Q\) and \(\Delta_{discrete}+P\) with boundary conditions (2) are the same. Theorem. For \(d\geq 2\), \(p\geq 2\) and \(\alpha \in {\mathbb{R}}^ d\) there exists for generic \(\beta\) in \({\mathbb{R}}^ d\) a Zariski-open dense set U of potentials in \({\mathbb{C}}^ N\) such that \[ Iso^{{\mathbb{C}}}_{\alpha}(Q)\cap Iso^{{\mathbb{C}}}_{\beta}(Q)=\{Q(\pm x+a)| a\in \Gamma \}\quad (Q\quad in\quad U) \] where \(\Gamma\) is a fundamental domain of L.
