We consider Schr\"odinger operators in $L^2(\mathbb{R}^3)$ with a singular interaction supported by a finite curve $\Gamma$. We present a proper definition of the operators and study their properties, in particular, we show that the…
Let $V$ be a {\em periodic} potential on $\RR^3$ that is smooth everywhere except at a discrete set $\maS$ of points, where it has singularities of the form $Z/\rho^2$, with $\rho(x) = |x - p|$ for $x$ close to $p$ and $Z$ is continuous,…
