We discuss the spectral properties of singular Schrödinger operators in three dimensions with the interaction supported by an equilateral star, finite or infinite. In the finite case, the discrete spectrum is nonempty if the star arms are long enough. Our main result concerns spectral optimization: we show that the principal eigenvalue is uniquely maximized when the arms are arranged in one of the known five sharp configurations.

We consider the spectral problem for a family of N point interactions of the same strength confined to a manifold with a rotational symmetry, a circle or a sphere, and ask for configurations that…
Schr\"odinger operators with $\delta$-potentials supported on unbounded Lipschitz hypersurfaces
In this note we consider the self-adjoint Schrödinger operator Aα in L(R), d ≥ 2, with a δ-potential supported on a Lipschitz hypersurface Σ ⊆ R of strength α ∈ L(Σ) + L∞(Σ). We show the uniqueness…
