On eigenvalues of the Landau Hamiltonian with a periodic electric potential
Abstract
We consider the Landau Hamiltonian $\widehat H_B+V$ on $L^2({\mathbb R}^2)$ with a periodic electric potential $V$. For every $m\in {\mathbb N}$ we prove that there exist nonconstant periodic electric potentials $V\in C^{\infty }({\mathbb R}^2;{\mathbb R})$ with zero mean values that analytically depend on a small parameter $\varepsilon \in {\mathbb R}$ such that the Landau level $(2m+1)B$ is an eigenvalue of the Hamiltonian (of infinite multiplicity) where $B>0$ is a strength of a homogeneous magnetic field.
