Abstract: | We study spectral properties of second-order elliptic operators with periodic coefficients in dimension two. These operators
act in periodic simply-connected waveguides, with either Dirichlet, or Neumann, or the third boundary condition. The main
result is the absolute continuity of the spectra of such operators. The cornerstone of the proof is an isothermal change of
variables, reducing the metric to a flat one and the waveguide to a straight strip. The main technical tool is the quasiconformal
variant of the Riemann mapping theorem.
