Generic rigidity conjecture for periodic potentials

Let mm denote the number of Fourier modes in the periodic potentials, let nn be the ambient dimension, and let V1,V2V_1,V_2 be smooth periodic functions. The rigidity result referred to as Theorem 2d concerns the implication identifying potentials from equality of their effective Hamiltonians, with the stated translation-and-rational-scaling form in the theorem. Generic rigidity conjecture. (1) Theorem 2d should hold when m3m\geq 3 and n=2n=2. (2) If n3n\geq 3, then the result of Theorem 2d should be valid provided that V1V_1 and V2V_2 belong to a dense open set of smooth periodic functions. This extends the established rigidity results beyond the cases m3m\leq 3 and predicts rigidity for generic smooth periodic potentials in higher dimensions.
