Abstract: Let $(cX,ho)$ be a discrete metric space. We suppose that the group $s{Z}^n$ acts freely on $X$ and that the number of orbits of $X$ with respect to this action is finite. Then we call $X$ a $s{Z}^n$-periodic discrete metric space. We examine the Fredholm property and essential spectra of band-dominated operators on $l^p(X)$ where $X$ is a $s{Z}^n$-periodic discrete metric space. Our approach is based on the theory of band-dominated operators on $s{Z}^n$ and their limit operators. In case $X$ is the set of vertices of a combinatorial graph, the graph structure defines a Schr"{o}dinger operator on $l^p(X)$ in a natural way. We illustrate our approach by determining the essential spectra of Schr"{o}dinger operators with slowly oscillating potential both on zig-zag and on hexagonal graphs, the latter being related to nano-structures.
