Floquet-isospectral antisymmetric periodic potentials

Less than 1 year old · traced to

Let q>3q>3, let VV be a nonzero qZq\mathbb{Z}-periodic potential of the form

V=(v1,v2,…,−v2,−v1),V=(v_1,v_2,\dots,-v_2,-v_1),

and let Δ\Delta denote the discrete Laplacian. Floquet-isospectral potential conjecture. There exist such potentials VV for which Δ\Delta and Δ+V\Delta+V are Floquet isospectral.

This conjecture is motivated by the specialized spectral-invariant system and by known nonzero points when the period is divisible by 44; its general status is not established in the supplied text.
