1. INTRODUCTION AND MAIN RESULTS In this paper we continue the study of one-point commuting difference operators of rank 2 (Krichever–Novikov operators; see [11]), which began in [14, 18]. Using the results obtained in this paper, we construct a discretization of commuting ordinary differential operators of rank 2 in the case of elliptic spectral curves. This discretization has the following remarkable properties. When the shift parameter tends to zero, the difference operators turn into differential ones, while the spectral curve does not depend on the shift parameter and coincides with the spectral curve of the differential operators. Denote by Lp and Lm difference operators of orders p and m of the form N+

where p = N+ + N− , m = M+ + M− , N± , M± ∈ N, and T is the shift operator, T f (n) = f (n + 1). The operators Lp and Lm act on a set of functions {f : Z → C}. If Lp and Lm commute, then there exists a nonzero polynomial F (z, w) such that F (Lp , Lm ) = 0 (see [8]). This polynomial defines a spectral curve Γ = {(z, w) ∈ C2 : F (z, w) = 0}. The rank l of the pair Lp , Lm is the number l = dim{ψ : Lp ψ = zψ, Lm ψ = wψ, (z, w) ∈ Γ}; here it is assumed that the point (z, w) is in general position on Γ. Any maximal commutative ring of difference operators containing Lp and Lm is isomorphic to a ring of meromorphic functions on some algebraic curve with poles at points q1 , . . . , qs (see [11]). Two-point (i.e., s = 2) rank 1 operators were studied in [7, 9, 19, 23]. In this paper we consider one-point (i.e., s = 1) operators of rank 2 of the form L4 =
