Let $$H_0$$ H 0 be a discrete periodic Schrödinger operator on $$\ell ^2(\mathbb {Z}^d)$$ ℓ 2 ( Z d ) : \begin{aligned} H_0=-\Delta +V, \end{aligned} H 0 = - Δ + V , where $$\Delta$$ Δ is the discrete Laplacian and $$V:\mathbb {Z}^d\rightarrow \mathbb {C}$$ V : Z d → C is periodic. We prove that for any $$d\ge 3$$ d ≥ 3 , the Fermi variety at every energy level is irreducible (modulo periodicity). For $$d=2$$ d = 2 , we prove that the Fermi variety at every energy level except for the…
