The Hill operators , considered with complex valued -periodic potentials and subject to periodic, antiperiodic or Neumann boundary conditions have discrete spectra. For sufficiently large , close to there are two periodic (if is even) or antiperiodic (if is odd) eigenvalues , and one Neumann eigenvalue . We study the geometry of ¡°the spectral triangle¡± with vertices (, , ), and show that the rate of decay of triangle size characterizes the potential smoothness. Moreover, it is proved, for , that the set of periodic (antiperiodic) root functions contains a Riesz basis if and only if for even (respectively, odd) .
