In $L^2(\mathbb{R}^d)$, let $Q$ be the solution to \begin{equation} -\Delta Q+\alpha^2 Q = |Q|^{2\sigma} Q, \end{equation} and $Q$ satisfies that it is positive, radial, and exponentially decaying (...

Gap-opening perturbations of the periodic Schrödinger operator

I am trying to understand this short paper and I am getting stuck right at the end. Let $V(x)$ be $C^\infty$ and 1-periodic (that is, $V(x)=V(x+1)$). We are considering the operator $$A=-\dfrac{d^2}...
