Abstract
A two-dimensional magnetic periodic Schrödinger operator with a variable metric is considered. An electric potential is assumed to be a distribution formally given by an expression \(\frac{{dv}}{{dx}}\), where dν is a periodic signed measure with a locally finite variation. We also assume that the perturbation generated by the electric potential is strongly subject (in the sense of forms) to the free operator. Under this natural assumption, we prove that the spectrum of the Schrödinger operator is absolutely continuous. Bibliography: 15 titles.
