Motivated by an optimal-matching problem (Leighton-Shor) and the random-field Ising model (Aizenman-Wehr, Ding-Wirth), we consider a variational problem for graphs in $1+1$ dimension maximizing an action that is the difference of a field…

The paper is concerned with the number of open gaps in spectra of periodic quantum graphs. The well-known conjecture by Bethe and Sommerfeld (1933) says that the number of open spectral gaps for a system periodic in more than one direction…

The Bethe-Sommerfeld conjecture states that the spectrum of the stationary Schrodinger operator with a periodic potential in dimensions higher than 1 has only finitely many gaps. After work done by many authors, it has been proven by now in…
