Trace formulas for Schrodinger operators on periodic graphs

We consider Schrodinger operators with periodic potentials on periodic discrete graphs. Their spectrum consists of a finite number of bands. We determine trace formulas for the Schrodinger operators. The proof is based on the decomposition of the Schrodinger operators into a direct integral and a specific representation of fiber operators. The traces of the fiber operators are expressed as finite Fourier series of the quasimomentum. The coefficients of the Fourier series are given in terms of the potentials and cycles in the quotient graph from some specific cycle sets. We also present the trace formulas for the heat kernel and the resolvent of the Schrodinger operators and the determinant formulas.(c) 2021 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
