We provide a class of unbounded three-dimensional domains of infinite volume for which the spectrum of the associated Dirichlet Laplacian is purely discrete. The construction is based on considering tubes with asymptotically diverging…
We study the Laplacian in deformed thin (bounded or unbounded) tubes in ?$\R^3$, i.e., tubular regions along a curve $r(s)$ whose cross sections are multiplied by an appropriate deformation function $h(s)> 0$. One the main requirements on…
In this work, we analyze the Dirichlet Laplacian $-\Delta_{\Omega}^D$ in an unbounded waveguide $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$, where the cross-section is translated in a constant direction and rotated along a spatial line. We focus on the…
We investigate the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian in a unbounded strip subject to a new deformation of "shearing": the strip is built by translating a segment oriented in a constant direction along an unbounded curve in the plane. We…
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in infinite two-dimensional strips defined as uniform tubular neighbourhoods of curves on ruled surfaces. We show that the negative Gauss curvature of the ambient surface gives rise to a Hardy inequality…
Let $\Omega \subset \mathbb R^3$ be a broken sheared waveguide, i.e., it is built by translating a cross-section in a constant direction along a broken line in $\mathbb R^3$. We prove that the discrete spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian…
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…
We study measure perturbations of the Laplacian in $L^2(\R^2)$ supported by an infinite curve $\Gamma$ in the plane which is asymptotically straight in a suitable sense. We show that if $\Gamma$ is not a straight line, such a ``leaky…
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 the Dirichlet Laplacian in a three-dimensional waveguide that is a small deformation of a periodically twisted tube. The deformation is given by a bending and an additional twisting of the tube, both parametrized by a coupling…
Spatial cruciform quantum waveguides (the Dirichlet problem for Laplace operator) are constructed such that the total multiplicity of the discrete spectrum exceeds any preassigned number.
It is well known that the spectrum of the Dirichlet Laplacian for a compact perturbation of a three-dimensional, periodically twisted tube is unstable with respect to domain deformations. This means that if the periodically twisted tube is…
We show that if a topological insulator is truncated along a curve that separates the plane in two sufficiently large regions, then the edge system admits absolutely continuous spectrum. Our approach combines a recent version of the…
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…
Quantum waveguide with the shape of planar infinite straight strip and combined Dirichlet and Neumann boundary conditions on the opposite half-lines of the boundary is considered. The absence of the point as well as of the singular…
In this article we prove that, over complete manifolds of dimension $n$ with vanishing curvature at infinity, the essential spectrum of the Hodge Laplacian on differential $k$-forms is a connected interval for $0\leq k\leq n$. The main idea…
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian with uniform magnetic field on a curved strip in two dimensions. We give a sufficient condition ensuring the existence of the discrete spectrum in the strong magnetic field limit.
We derive a lower bound to the spectral threshold of the Dirichlet Laplacian in tubular neighbourhoods of constant radius about complete surfaces. This lower bound is given by the lowest eigenvalue of a one-dimensional operator depending on…
We make an overview of spectral-geometric effects of twisting and bending in quantum waveguides modelled by the Dirichlet Laplacian in an unbounded three-dimensional tube of uniform cross-section. We focus on the existence of Hardy-type…
We introduce a variational notion of essential spectrum for the Dirichlet $p-$Laplacian. We then extend the classical Persson Theorem to this nonlinear setting. This result provides a geometric characterization of the bottom of the…
