The paper deals with some spectral properties of (mostly infinite) quantum and combinatorial graphs. Quantum graphs have been intensively studied lately due to their numerous applications to mesoscopic physics, nanotechnology, optics, and…
We prove upper and lower bounds for the number of zeroes of linear combinations of Schr\"odinger eigenfunctions on metric (quantum) graphs. These bounds are distinct from both the interval and manifolds. We complement these bounds by giving…
We study the interplay between spectrum, geometry and boundary conditions for two distinguished self-adjoint realisations of the Laplacian on infinite metric graphs, the so-called riedrichs and Neumann extensions. We introduce a new…
We prove a substantial extension of an inverse spectral theorem of Ambarzumyan, and show that it can be applied to arbitrary compact Riemannian manifolds, compact quantum graphs and finite combinatorial graphs, subject to the imposition of…
Consider a sequence of finite regular graphs (GN) converging, in the sense of Benjamini-Schramm, to the infinite regular tree. We study the induced quantum graphs with equilateral edge lengths, Kirchhoff conditions (possibly with a non-zero…
Quantum graphs are defined by having a Laplacian defined on the edges of a metric graph with boundary conditions on each vertex such that the resulting operator, $\mathbf{L}$, is self-adjoint. We use Neumann boundary conditions although we…
We consider periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operators on the hexagonal lattice with self-adjoint vertex conditions that allow discontinuity and concentrated mass at the vertices. This model generalizes the periodic Schr\"{o}dinger operator on the…
The quantum Bruhat graph, which is an extension of the graph formed by covering relations in the Bruhat order, is naturally related to the quantum cohomology ring of G/B. We enhance a result of Fulton and Woodward by showing that the…
We introduce a new model of background independent physics in which the degrees of freedom live on a complete graph and the physics is invariant under the permutations of all the points. We argue that the model has a low energy phase in…
Associated to a finite graph $X$ is its quantum automorphism group $G(X)$. We prove a formula of type $G(X*Y)=G(X)*_wG(Y)$, where $*_w$ is a free wreath product. Then we discuss representation theory of free wreath products, with the…
We quantize the regularity properties of classical graphs that determine spin models for singly-generated Yang-Baxter planar algebras, including the Kauffman polynomial, and construct explicit examples. A source of examples comes from…
We provide an exhaustive spectral analysis of the two-dimensional periodic square graph lattice with a magnetic field. We show that the spectrum consists of the Dirichlet eigenvalues of the edges and of the preimage of the spectrum of a…
Quantum graphs have been introduced by Duan, Severini, and Winter to describe the zero-error behaviour of quantum channels. Since then, quantum graph theory has become a field of study in its own right. A substantial source of difficulty in…
We present an infinite sequence of finite graphs with trivial automorphism group and non-trivial quantum automorphism group. These are the first known examples of graphs with this property. Moreover, to the best of our knowledge, these are…
We consider circulant graphs having $p$ vertices, with $p$ prime. To any such graph we associate a certain number $k$, that we call type of the graph. We prove that for $p>>k$ the graph has no quantum symmetry, in the sense that the quantum…
We investigate quantum graphs with infinitely many vertices and edges without the common restriction on the geometry of the underlying metric graph that there is a positive lower bound on the lengths of its edges. Our central result is a…
The main result of the article is validity of the limiting absorption principle and thus absence of the singular continuous spectrum for compact quantum graphs with several infinite leads attached. The technique used involves…
We introduce a category $\mathsf{qGph}$ of quantum graphs, whose definition is motivated entirely from noncommutative geometry. For all quantum graphs $G$ and $H$ in $\mathsf{qGph}$, we then construct a quantum graph $[G,H]$ of…
Not necessarily self-adjoint quantum graphs -- differential operators on metric graphs -- are considered. Assume in addition that the underlying metric graph possesses an automorphism (symmetry) $ \mathcal P $. If the differential operator…
In this paper, we discuss the concept of quantum graphs with transparent vertices by considering the case where the graph interacts with an external time-independent field. In particular, we address the problem of transparent boundary…
