On the spectral properties of long-range perturbations of a class of block finite difference operators
We analyze spectral properties of a family of self-adjoint first-order finite difference operators acting on $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}; \mathbb{C}^2)$ or $\ell^2(\mathbb{Z}_+; \mathbb{C}^2)$. Applying the conjugate operator method, we prove the existence of limiting absorption principles and the absence of singular continuous spectrum for these operators. Our results cover classes of admissible long-range perturbations that have not been previously addressed.
