Abstract
We analyze the spectrum of the Neumann-Poincar\'e (NP) operator for a doubly connected domain lying between two level curves defined by a conformal mapping, where the inner boundary of the domain is of general shape. The analysis relies on an infinite-matrix representation of the NP operator involving the Grunsky coefficients of the conformal mapping and an application of the Gershgorin circle theorem. As the thickness of the domain shrinks to zero, the spectrum of the doubly connected domain approaches the interval in the Hausdorff distance and the density of eigenvalues approaches that of a thin circular annulus.
