Continuing previous work we develop a certain piece of functional analysis on general graphs and use it to create what Connes calls a 'spectral triple', i.e. a Hilbert space structure, a representation of a certain (function) algebra and a…

The fundamental gap is the difference between the first two Dirichlet eigenvalues of a Schr\"odinger operator (and the Laplacian, in particular). For horoconvex domains in hyperbolic space, Nguyen, Stancu and Wei conjectured that it is…

The Gutzwiller trace formula is extended to include diffraction effects. The new trace formula involves periodic rays which have non-geometrical segments as a result of diffraction on the surfaces and edges of the scatter.
