We investigate spectral properties of Kirchhoff Laplacians on radially symmetric antitrees. This class of metric graphs enjoys a rich group of symmetries, which enables us to obtain a decomposition of the corresponding Laplacian into the…
We consider weighted graphs with an infinite set of vertices. We show that boundedness of all functions of finite energy can be seen as a notion of `relative compactness' for such graphs and study sufficient and necessary conditions for…
We investigate the spectral properties of the Dirichlet Laplacian on large finite metric balls within irregular infinite graphs of quadratic volume growth. We consider an exhaustion $G_n = B_{R_n}(x_0)$ and the spectral zeta value $Z_n(1) =…
We write the spectral zeta function of the Laplace operator on an equilateral metric graph in terms of the spectral zeta function of the normalized Laplace operator on the corresponding discrete graph. To do this, we apply a relation…
We present a short alternative proof of the Vorono\"i summation formula which plays an important role in Dirichlet's divisor problem and has recently found an application in physics as a trace formula for a Schr\"odinger operator on a…
For a commutative ring $R$ with identity, the \emph{weakly zero-divisor graph} $W\Gamma(R)$ has vertex set $Z(R)^{\ast}$, with distinct vertices $x$ and $y$ adjacent whenever there exist nonzero $r\in{\rm Ann}(x)$ and $s\in{\rm Ann}(y)$…
We study a special class of graphs with a strong transience feature called uniform transience. We characterize uniform transience via a Feller-type property and via validity of an isoperimetric inequality. We then give a further…
We consider the twisted waveguide $\Omega_\theta$, i.e. the domain obtained by the rotation of the bounded cross section $\omega \subset {\mathbb R}^{2}$ of the straight tube $\Omega : = \omega \times {\mathbb R}$ at angle $\theta$ which…
We prove that every metric graph which is a tree has an orthonormal sequence of Laplace-eigenfunctions of full support. This implies that the number of nodal domains $\nu_n$ of the $n$-th eigenfunction of the Laplacian with standard…
We establish a sharp lower bound on the first non-trivial eigenvalue of the Laplacian on a metric graph equipped with natural (i.e., continuity and Kirchhoff) vertex conditions in terms of the diameter and the total length of the graph.…
By a discrete torus we mean the Cayley graph associated to a finite product of finite cycle groups with generating set given by choosing a generator for each cyclic factor. In this article we study the spectral theory of the combinatorial…
We investigate the bottom of the spectra of infinite quantum graphs, i.e., Laplace operators on metric graphs having infinitely many edges and vertices. We introduce a new definition of the isoperimetric constant for quantum graphs and then…
We study the existence and uniqueness of the heat kernel on infinite, locally finite, connected graphs. For general graphs, a uniqueness criterion, shown to be optimal, is given in terms of the maximal valence on spheres about a fixed…
We introduce a one-parameter family of massive Laplacian operators $(\Delta^{m(k)})_{k\in[0,1)}$ defined on isoradial graphs, involving elliptic functions. We prove an explicit formula for the inverse of $\Delta^{m(k)}$, the massive Green…
We study the interplay between spectrum, geometry and boundary conditions for two distinguished self-adjoint realisations of the Laplacian on infinite metric graphs, the so-called riedrichs and Neumann extensions. We introduce a new…
We study the operator theory associated with such infinite graphs $G$ as occur in electrical networks, in fractals, in statistical mechanics, and even in internet search engines. Our emphasis is on the determination of spectral data for a…
Quantum graphs are defined by having a Laplacian defined on the edges of a metric graph with boundary conditions on each vertex such that the resulting operator, $\mathbf{L}$, is self-adjoint. We use Neumann boundary conditions although we…
