Abstract
Consider in the Schrödinger operator family depending on the real parameter , where is a complex-valued but symmetric periodic potential. An explicit condition on is obtained which ensures that the spectrum of is purely real and band shaped; furthermore, a further condition is obtained which ensures that the spectrum contains at least a pair of complex analytic arcs.
