contents We study the spectra of operators on periodic graphs using methods from combinatorial algebraic geometry. Our main result is a bound on the number of complex critical points of the Bloch variety, together with an effective criterion for when this bound is attained. We show that this criterion holds for Z^2- and Z^3-periodic graphs with sufficiently many edges and use our results to establish the spectral edges conjecture for some Z^2-periodic graphs.
