We consider a compact $C^\infty$ stratified 2D variety $M$ in $\mathbb{R}^3$ and its $\epsilon$ neighborhood $M_\epsilon$, which we call a "fattened open book structure". Assuming absence of zero-dimensional strata, i.e. "corners", we show…

We consider a family of non-compact manifolds $X_\eps$ (``graph-like manifolds'') approaching a metric graph $X_0$ and establish convergence results of the related natural operators, namely the (Neumann) Laplacian $\laplacian {X_\eps}$ and…
We consider a convolution-type operator on vector bundles over metric-measure spaces. This operator extends the analogous convolution Laplacian on functions in our earlier work to vector bundles, and is a natural extension of the graph…
We introduce a non-backtracking Laplace operator for graphs and we investigate its spectral properties. With the use of both theoretical and computational techniques, we show that the spectrum of this operator captures several structural…
We consider a family of compact manifolds which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter to a graph. The main result is that the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator converges to the spectrum of the (differential) Laplacian on…
We discuss approximations of vertex couplings of quantum graphs using families of thin branched manifolds. We show that if a Neumann type Laplacian on such manifolds is amended by suitable potentials, the resulting Schr\"odinger operators…
Laplacian operators on finite compact metric graphs are considered under the assumption that matching conditions at graph vertices are of $\delta$ and $\delta'$ types. An infinite series of trace formulae is obtained which link together two…

The spectrum of the d-bar-Neumann Laplacian on the Fock space $L^2(\mathbb{C}^n, e^{-|z|^2})$ is explicitly computed. It turns out that it consists of positive integer eigenvalues each of which is of infinite multiplicity. Spectral analysis…

Negative-index metamaterials possess a negative refractive index and thus present an interesting substance for designing uncommon optical effects such as invisibility cloaking. This paper deals with operators encountered in an…

We discuss spectral properties of the Laplacian with multiple ($N$) point interactions in two-dimensional bounded regions. A mathematically sound formulation for the problem is given within the framework of the self-adjoint extension of a…
We first develop a general framework for Laplace operators defined in terms of the combinatorial structure of a simplicial complex. This includes, among others, the graph Laplacian, the combinatorial Laplacian on simplicial complexes, the…
In some previous works, the analytic structure of the spectrum of a quantum graph operator as a function of the vertex conditions and other parameters of the graph was established. However, a specific local coordinate chart on the…
We consider the spectral structure of the Neumann--Poincar\'e operators defined on the boundaries of thin domains of rectangle shape in two dimensions. We prove that as the aspect ratio of the domains tends to $\infty$, or equivalently, as…
We consider spectral problems for Laplace operator in 3D rod structures with a small cross section of diameter $O(\varepsilon)$, $\varepsilon$ being a positive parameter. The boundary conditions are Dirichlet (Neumann, respectively) on the…
For any graph, we define a rank-1 operator on a bipartite tensor product space, with components associated to the set of vertices and edges respectively. We show that the partial traces of the operator are the Laplacian and the…
The spectrum of the normalized graph Laplacian yields a very comprehensive set of invariants of a graph. In order to understand the information contained in those invariants better, we systematically investigate the behavior of this…
