Abstract: Let (cX,ho) be a discrete metric space. We suppose that the group sZn acts freely on X and that the number of orbits of X with respect to this action is finite. Then we call X a sZn-periodic discrete metric space. We examine the Fredholm property and essential spectra of band-dominated operators on lp(X) where X is a sZn-periodic discrete metric space. Our approach is based on the theory of band-dominated operators on sZn 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 lp(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.
