Krichever, I. M. Spectral theory of two-dimensional periodic operators and its applications. (English. Russian original) Zbl 0699.35188 Russ. Math. Surv. 44, No. 2, 145-225 (1989); translation from Usp. Mat. Nauk 44, No. 2(266), 121-184 (1989). A constructive approach to the study of Riemann surfaces of Bloch-type functions is presented. Abstract Bloch-solutions are given using series similar to perturbation ones and their convergence is proved. The spectral theory of finite-zone operators is developed. The completeness of the Bloch series is established. Particular applications are discussed in detail. Chapter 1: Spectral theory of the time dependent Schrödinger operator.
