When is a non-self-adjoint Hill operator a spectral operator of scalar type?
[Quand un opérateur de Hill non-autoadjoint est-il un operateur spectral de type scalaire ?]
Comptes Rendus. Mathématique, Tome 343 (2006) no. 4, pp. 239-242.

Nous dérivons des conditions nécessaires et suffisantes pour qur l'opérateur de Schrödinger (i.e., l'opérateur de Hill) H=d2/dx2+V dans L2(R) soit un opérateur spectral de type scalaire. Les conditions montrent que cette propriétés ne dépend pas des propriétés différentielles (ou analytiques) du potentiel V.

We derive necessary and sufficient conditions for a one-dimensional periodic Schrödinger (i.e., Hill) operator H=d2/dx2+V in L2(R) to be a spectral operator of scalar type. The conditions demonstrate the remarkable fact that the property of a Hill operator being a spectral operator is independent of smoothness (or even analyticity) properties of the potential V.
