On perturbations of the spectrum of one-dimensional PT-symmetric periodic Schrodinger operator

Abstract

For PT-symmetric periodic Schrodinger operator, which is a small perturbation of the zero potential, we calculate the spectrum and the divisor of zeroes of the Bloch function in the leading order of the perturbation theory. In particular, we show that the analogs of lacunae of the Bloch spectrum are ellipses, and their focal points coincide with the branch points of the spectral curve.
