We study the Neumann Laplacian $-\Delta^N$ restricted to a periodic waveguide. In this situation its spectrum $\sigma(-\Delta^N)$ presents a band structure. Our goal and strategy is to get spectral information from an analysis of the…

We investigate the Dirichlet Laplacian in two spatial waveguides coupled through an elliptic window. The elliptic geometry breaks rotational symmetry and introduces anisotropy through the semi-axes of the aperture, which modifies the…

We are interested in the lower part of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian $A^\varepsilon$ in a thin waveguide $\Pi^\varepsilon$ obtained by repeating periodically a pattern, itself constructed by scaling an inner field geometry…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a family of narrow unbounded domains. As the width of these domains goes to 0, we study the asymptotic behavior of the eigenvalues that lie below the essential spectrum and the asymptotic behavior of…

We consider the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the fractional Laplacian $(-\Delta)^s$, with $s\in (0,1)$, related to a smooth bounded domain $\Omega$. We prove that there exists an arbitrarily small perturbation $\tilde\Omega=(I+\psi)(\Omega)$ of…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in tubular neighbourhoods of complete non-compact Riemannian manifolds immersed in the Euclidean space. We show that the essential spectrum coincides with the spectrum of a planar tube provided that the…

We prove that the real-valued electric potential $q \in L^{\max(2,3 n / 5)}(\Omega)$ of the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta +q$ acting in a bounded domain $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^n$, $n \ge 3$, is uniquely determined by the asymptotics of…

Let $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be an open set of finite measure and let $\Theta$ be a disjoint union of two balls of half measure. We study the stability of the full Dirichlet spectrum of $\Omega$ when its second eigenvalue is close to…

We make a spectral analysis of the massive Dirac operator in a tubular neighborhood of an unbounded planar curve,subject to infinite mass boundary conditions. Under general assumptions on the curvature, we locate the essential spectrum and…

Let $\Omega$ be an open, simply connected, and bounded region in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$, $d\geq2$, and assume its boundary $\partial\Omega$ is smooth. Consider solving the eigenvalue problem $Lu=\lambda u$ for an elliptic partial differential…

We discuss the essential spectrum of essentially self-adjoint elliptic differential operators of first order and of Laplace type operators on Riemannian vector bundles over geometrically finite orbifolds.

In this article we construct a family of domains $\Omega \subset \mathbb{R}^2$ with infinite volume such that the Dirichlet Laplacian $\Delta^D$ has purely discrete spectrum and give precise spectral asymptotics for the eigenvalue counting…

We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian for a strip in $\,\R^2$ with one straight boundary and a width $\,a(1+\lambda f(x))\,$, where $\,f\,$ is a smooth function of a compact support with a length $\,2b\,$. We show that in the critical case,…
