Abstract: General properties of long wavelength triangular graphene superlattice are studied. It is shown that Dirac points with and without gaps can arise at a number of high symmetry points of the Brillouin Zone. The existence of gaps can lead to insulating behavior at commensurate fillings. Strain and magnetic superlattices are also discussed.
