At the example of two coupled waveguides we construct a periodic second order differential operator acting in a Euclidean domain and having spectral gaps whose edges are attained strictly inside the Brillouin zone. The waveguides are…
We consider singular perturbed eigenvalue problem for Laplace operator in a cylinder with frequent and nonperiodic alternation of boundary conditions imposed on narrow strips lying in the lateral surface. The width of strips depends on a…
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a straight three dimensional waveguide with non-rotationally invariant cross section, perturbed by a twisting of small amplitude. It is well known that such a perturbation does not create eigenvalues…
In this paper we consider the two-dimensional Schr\"odinger operator with an attractive potential which is a multiple of the characteristic function of an unbounded strip-shaped region, whose thickness is varying and is determined by the…
The plane waveguides with corners considered here are infinite V-shaped strips with constant thickness. They are parametrized by their sole opening angle. We study the eigenpairs of the Dirichlet Laplacian in such domains when this angle…
We study Dirichlet Laplacian in a screw-shaped region, i.e. a straight twisted tube of a non-circular cross section. It is shown that a local perturbation which consists of "slowing down" the twisting in the mean gives rise to a non-empty…
We study the spectrum of complete noncompact manifolds with bounded curvature and positive injectivity radius. We give general conditions which imply that their essential spectrum has an arbitrarily large finite number of gaps. In…
A finite discrete graph is turned into a quantum (metric) graph once a finite length is assigned to each edge and the one-dimensional Laplacian is taken to be the operator. We study the dependence of the spectral gap (the first positive…
We investigate spectral properties of quantum graphs in the form of a periodic chain of rings with a connecting link between each adjacent pair, assuming that wave functions at the vertices are matched through conditions manifestly…

A framework allowing for perturbative calculations to be carried out for quantum field theories with arbitrary smoothly curved boundaries is described. It is based on an expansion of the heat kernel derived earlier for arbitrary mixed…
We study spectral properties of the Dirac and scalar Laplace operator on the Euclidean Schwarzschild space, both twisted by a family of abelian connections with anti-self-dual curvature. We show that the zero-modes of the gauged Dirac…
The purpose of this paper is to explore the asymptotics of the eigenvalue spectrum of the Laplacian on 2 dimensional spaces of constant curvature, giving strong experimental evidence for a conjecture of the second author…
In this paper, we consider the essential spectrum of submanifolds in Euclidean spaces under various geometric hypotheses. Our results involve extrinsic conditions such as finite total mean curvature, the convergence of the gradient of the…
In this paper we exploit the phenomenon of two principal half eigenvalues in the context of fully nonlinear Lane-Emden type systems with possibly unbounded coefficients and weights. We show that this gives rise to the existence of two…
We consider the two-dimensional Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions posed in a tubular neighborhood of a $C^4$-planar curve. Under generic assumptions on its curvature $\kappa$, we prove that in the thin-width regime the…
We study area- and length-preserving curvature flows for embedded closed curves on pinched Hadamard surfaces. In the variable-curvature setting, the evolution equations contain additional lower-order terms, so the PDE analysis requires…
We prove sharp criteria on the behavior of radial curvature for the existence of asymptotically flat or hyperbolic Riemannian manifolds with prescribed sets of eigenvalues embedded in the spectrum of the Laplacian. In particular, we…
Motivated by the work of Abreu and Freitas, we study the invariant spectrum of the Laplace operator associated to hermitian line bundles endowed with invariant metrics over $\mathbb{p}^1$.
We study the spectrum of the Helmholtz equation in a two-dimensional infinite waveguide, containing a weak heterogeneity localized at an internal point, and obeying Dirichlet boundary conditions at its border. We prove that, when the…
