Quantum graphs featuring unusual self-adjoint extensions

We present an example of a simple quantum graph with “vertices at infinity”, which appear due a strongly attractive potential making the spectral problem quantum-mechanically incomplete. We construct the appropriate self-adjoint extensions of the formal graph Hamiltonian, and derive their spectral properties.

Abstract

We present an example of a simple quantum graph with “vertices at infinity”, which appear due a strongly attractive potential making the spectral problem quantum-mechanically incomplete. We construct the appropriate self-adjoint extensions of the formal graph Hamiltonian, and derive their spectral properties.
