Abstract

We investigate the Schr\"{o}dinger operators Hε=Δ+W+VεH_\varepsilon=-\Delta +W+V_\varepsilon in R2\mathbb{R}^2 with the short-range potentials VεV_\varepsilon which are localized around a smooth closed curve γ\gamma. The operators HεH_\varepsilon can be viewed as an approximation of the heuristic Hamiltonian H=Δ+W+aνδγ+bδγH=-\Delta+W+a\partial_\nu\delta_\gamma+b\delta_\gamma, where δγ\delta_\gamma is Dirac's δ\delta-function supported on γ\gamma and νδγ\partial_\nu\delta_\gamma is its normal derivative on γ\gamma. Assuming that the operator Δ+W-\Delta +W has only discrete spectrum, we analyze the asymptotic behaviour of eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of HεH_\varepsilon. The transmission conditions on γ\gamma for the eigenfunctions u+=αuu^+=\alpha u^-, ανu+νu=βu\alpha\, \partial_\nu u^+-\partial_\nu u^-=\beta u^-, which arise in the limit as ε0\varepsilon\to 0, reveal a nontrivial connection between spectral properties of HεH_\varepsilon and the geometry of γ\gamma.
