contents We consider discrete Schrödinger operators with real periodic potentials on periodic graphs. The spectra of the operators consist of a finite number of bands. By "rolling up" a periodic graph along some appropriate directions we obtain periodic graphs of smaller dimensions called subcovering graphs. For example, rolling up a planar hexagonal lattice along different directions will lead to nanotubes with various chiralities. We describe connections between spectra of the Schrödinger operators on a periodic graph and its subcoverings. In particular, we provide a simple criterion for the subcovering graph to be isospectral to the original periodic graph. By isospectrality of periodic graphs we mean that the spectra of the Schrödinger operators on the graphs consist of the same number of bands and the corresponding bands coincide as sets. We also obtain asymptotics of the band edges of the Schrödinger operator on the subcovering graph as the "chiral" (roll up) vectors are long enough.
