We consider a twisted quantum wave guide, and are interested in the spectral analysis of the associated Dirichlet Laplacian H. We show that if the derivative of rotation angle decays slowly enough at infinity, then there is an infinite…

We consider a planar waveguide with combined Dirichlet and Neumann conditions imposed in a "twisted" way. We study the discrete spectrum and describe it dependence on the configuration of the boundary conditions. In particular, we show that…

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 give a description of the lower part of the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in an unbounded 3D periodic lattice made of thin bars (of width $\varepsilon\ll1$) which have a square cross section. This spectrum coincides with the union…

In distinction to the Neumann case the squeezing limit of a Dirichlet network leads in the threshold region generically to a quantum graph with disconnected edges, exceptions may come from threshold resonances. Our main point in this paper…

We study the Neumann Laplacian operator $-\Delta_\Omega^N$ restricted to a twisted waveguide $\Omega$. The goal is to find the effective operator when the diameter of $\Omega$ tends to zero. However, when $\Omega$ is "squeezed" there are…

For a two-dimensional curved waveguide, it is well known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is unstable. Any perturbation of the straight strip produces eigenvalues below the essential spectrum. In this paper, a magnetic field is…

The spectral properties of the restricted fractional Laplacian with Dirichlet boundary conditions in a smoothly bent waveguide is investigated. The existence of eigenvalues below the threshold of the continuous spectrum is proved,…

Off-axis twisted waveguides possess unique optical properties such as circular and orbital angular momentum (OAM) birefringence, setting them apart from their straight counterparts. Analyzing mode formation in such helical waveguides relies…

Consider the Dirichlet Laplacian operator $-\Delta^D$ in a periodic waveguide $\Omega$. On the condition that $\Omega$ is sufficiently thin, we show that its spectrum $\sigma(-\Delta^D)$ is absolutely continuous (in each finite region). In…

We study spectral properties of Dirichlet Laplacian on the conical layer of the opening angle $\pi-2\theta$ and thickness equal to $\pi$. We demonstrate that below the continuum threshold which is equal to one there is an infinite sequence…

It is widely known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian is stable under small perturbations of a domain, while in the case of the Neumann or mixed boundary conditions the spectrum may abruptly change. In this work we discuss an…

The structure of the spectrum of the three-dimensional Dirichlet Laplacian in the 3D polyhedral layer of fixed width is studied. It appears that the essential spectrum is defined by the smallest dihedral angle that forms the boundary of the…

In this paper we consider embedded eigenvalues of a Schroedinger Hamiltonian in a waveguide induced by a symmetric perturbation. It is shown that these eigenvalues become unstable and turn into resonances after twisting of the waveguide.…
