Quantum Graphs II: Some spectral properties of quantum and combinatorial graphs
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 other areas.
A Schnol type theorem is proven that allows one to detect that a point
belongs to the spectrum when a generalized eigenfunction with an subexponential
growth integral estimate is available. A theorem on spectral gap opening for
``decorated'' quantum graphs is established (its analog is known for the
combinatorial case). It is also shown that if a periodic combinatorial or
quantum graph has a point spectrum, it is generated by compactly supported
eigenfunctions (``scars'').Comment: 4 eps figures, LATEX file, 21 pages Revised form: a cut-and-paste
