Let $\Gamma\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ be a simple closed curve which is smooth except at the origin, at which it has a power cusp and coincides with the curve $|x_2|=x_1^p$ for some $p>1$. We study the eigenvalues of the Schr\"odinger operator…

The paper is devoted to a model of a mesoscopic system consisting of a pair of parallel planar waveguides separated by an infinitely thin semitransparent boundary modeled by a transverse delta interaction. We develop the Birman-Schwinger…
A classical particle under spatial constraints is strictly confined to live on a specific space manifold or path, but this assumption is incompatible with the zero-point fluctuations of a quantum particle. One way to describe quantum…
Given $n\geq 2$, we put $r=\min\{i\in\mathbb{N}; i>n/2 \}$. Let $\Sigma$ be acompact, $C^{r}$-smooth surface in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ which contains the origin. Let further $\{S_{\epsilon}\}_{0\le\epsilon<\eta}$ be a family of measurable subsets…
