Let $M$ be a complete, non-compact, connected Riemannian manifold with Ricci curvature bounded from below by a negative constant. A sufficient condition is obtained for open and connected sets $D$ in $M$ for which the corresponding…

The spectrum of the Schr\"odinger operator in a quantum waveguide is known to be unstable in two and three dimensions. Any enlargement of the waveguide produces eigenvalues beneath the continuous spectrum. Also if the waveguide is bent…

For a general Dirichlet series $\sum a_n e^{-\lambda_n s}$ with frequency $\lambda=(\lambda_n)_n$, we study how horizontal translation (i.e. convolution with a Poisson kernel) improves its integrability properties. We characterize…

We present a reduced order theory of locally impenetrable elastic tubes. The constraint of local impenetrability -- an inequality constraint on the determinant of the 3D deformation gradient -- is transferred to the Frenet curvature 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 consider Dirichlet Laplacians on straight strips in R^2 or layers in R^3 with a weak local deformation. First we generalize a result of Bulla et al. to the three-dimensional situation showing that weakly coupled bound states exist if the…

We consider a family of open sets $M_\epsilon$ which shrinks with respect to an appropriate parameter $\epsilon$ to a graph. Under the additional assumption that the vertex neighbourhoods are small we show that the appropriately shifted…

We consider the Laplacian in a domain squeezed between two parallel curves in the plane, subject to Dirichlet boundary conditions on one of the curves and Neumann boundary conditions on the other. We derive two-term asymptotics for…

Let $\Lambda\subset \mathbb{R}^d$ be a domain consisting of several cylinders attached to a bounded center. One says that $\Lambda$ admits a threshold resonance if there exists a non-trivial bounded function $u$ solving $-\Delta u=\nu u$ in…

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…

We describe the spectrum structure for the restricted Dirichlet fractional Laplacian in multi-tubes, i.e. domains with cylindrical outlets to infinity. Some new effects in comparison with the local case are discovered. In this version,…

We consider the negative Dirichlet Laplacian on an infinite waveguide embedded in $\RR^2$, and finite segments thereof. The waveguide is a perturbation of a periodic strip in terms of a sequence of independent identically distributed random…

We show that non-obtuse trapezoids are uniquely determined by their Dirichlet Laplace spectrum. This extends our previous result, which was only concerned with the Neumann Laplace spectrum.

This paper is concerned with the inverse diffraction problems by a periodic curve with Dirichlet boundary condition in two dimensions. It is proved that the periodic curve can be uniquely determined by the near-field measurement data…

The purpose of the present paper is to establish appropriate cut-off resolvent estimates for the Dirichlet Laplacian on exterior domains. The geometrical assumptions on domains are rather general, for example, non-trapping condition is not…

We prove a Hardy-type inequality for the gradient of the Heisenberg Laplacian on open bounded convex polytopes on the first Heisenberg Group. The integral weight of the Hardy inequality is given by the distance function to the boundary…

This paper is concerned with the study of theexistence/non-existence of the discrete spectrum of the Laplaceoperator on a domain of $\mathbb R ^3$ which consists in atwisted tube. This operator is defined by means of mixed…
