Abstract

We describe the asymptotics of the spectrum of the operator

$$ \hat H\left( {x, - \imath h\frac{\partial } {{\partial x}}} \right) = - h^2 \frac{{\partial ^2 }} {{\partial x^2 }} + \imath \left( {\cos x + \cos 2x} \right) $$

as h → 0 and show that the spectrum concentrates near some graph on the complex plane. We obtain equations for the eigenvalues, which are conditions on the periods of a holomorphic form on the corresponding Riemannian surface.
