A new treatment for some periodic Schrödinger operators II: the wave function

Abstract

Following the approach of our previous paper we continue to study the asymptotic solution of periodic Schrödinger operators. Using the eigenvalues obtained earlier the corresponding asymptotic wave functions are derived. This gives further evidence in favor of the monodromy relations for the Floquet exponent proposed in the previous paper. In particular, the large energy asymptotic wave functions are related to the instanton partition function of N=2 supersymmetric gauge theory with surface operator. A relevant number theoretic dessert is appended.
