The aim of the paper is to investigate resonances in quantum graphs with a general self-adjoint coupling in the vertices and their trajectories with respect to varying edge lengths. We derive formulae determining the Taylor expansion of the resonance pole position up to the second order which represent, in particular, a counterpart to the Fermi rule derived recently by Lee and Zworski for graphs with the standard coupling. Furthermore, we discuss the asymptotic behavior of the resonances in the high-energy regime in the situation where the leads are attached through $\delta$ or $\delta_\mathrm{s}'$ conditions, and we prove that in the case of $\delta_\mathrm{s}'$ coupling the resonances approach to the real axis with the increasing real parts as $\mathcal{O}\big((\mathrm{Re\,}k)^{-2}\big)$.

We demonstrate that any self-adjoint coupling in a quantum graph vertex can be approximated by a family of magnetic Schroedinger operators on a tubular network built over the graph. If such a manifold has a boundary, Neumann conditions are imposed at it. The procedure involves a local change of graph topology in the vicinity of the vertex; the approximation scheme constructed on the graph is subsequently `lifted' to the manifold. For the corresponding operator a norm-resolvent convergence is proved, with the natural identification map, as the tube diameters tend to zero. - Introduction to Quantum Graphs Google Scholar

- In this paper, we try to put the results of Smilansky et al. on “Topological resonances” on a mathematical basis. A key role in the asymptotic of resonances near the real axis for Quantum Graphs is played by the set of metrics for which there exist compactly supported eigenfunctions. We give several estimates on the dimension of this semi-algebraic set, in particular in terms of the girth of the graph. The case of trees is also discussed. © 2018 Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature

We present a Fermi golden rule giving rates of decay of states obtained by perturbing embedded eigenvalues of a quantum graph. To illustrate the procedure in a notationally simpler setting we also present a Fermi Golden Rule for boundary value problems on surfaces with constant curvature cusps. We also provide a resonance existence result which is uniform on compact sets of energies and metric graphs. The results are illustrated by numerical experiments. - In this note we explain the method how to find the resonance condition on quantum graphs, which is called pseudo orbit expansion. In three examples with standard coupling we show in detail how to obtain the resonance condition. We focus on non-Weyl graphs, i.e. the graphs which have fewer resonances than expected. For these graphs we explain benefits of the method of "deleting edges" for simplifying the graph.
- We report on a hitherto unnoticed type of resonances occurring in scattering from networks (quantum graphs) which are due to the complex connectivity of the graph-its topology. We consider generic open graphs and show that any cycle leads to narrow resonances which do not fit in any of the prominent paradigms for narrow resonances (classical barriers, localization due to disorder, chaotic scattering). We call these resonances "topological" to emphasize their origin in the nontrivial connectivity. Topological resonances have a clear and unique signature which is apparent in the statistics of the resonance parameters (such as, e.g., the width, the delay time, or the wave-function intensity in the graph). We discuss this phenomenon by providing analytical arguments supported by numerical simulation, and identify the features of the above distributions which depend on genuine topological quantities such as the length of the shortest cycle (girth). These signatures cannot be explained using any of the other paradigms for narrow resonances. Finally, we propose an experimental setting where the topological resonances could be demonstrated, and study the stability of the relevant distribution functions to moderate dissipation.

We show how to find the coefficient of the leading term of the resonance asymptotics using the method of pseudo-orbit expansion for quantum graphs which do not obey Weyl asymptotics. For a non-Weyl graph we develop a method to reduce the number of edges of a corresponding directed graph. Through this method we prove bounds on the above coefficient depending on the structure of the graph, for graphs with the same lengths of internal edges. We explicitly find the positions of the resolvent resonances. - ArticleFull-text available

We investigate spectral quantities of quantum graphs by expanding them as sums over pseudo orbits, sets of periodic orbits. Only a finite collection of pseudo orbits which are irreducible and where the total number of bonds is less than or equal to the number of bonds of the graph appear, analogous to a cut off at half the Heisenberg time. The calculation simplifies previous approaches to pseudo orbit expansions on graphs. We formulate coefficients of the characteristic polynomial and derive a secular equation in terms of the irreducible pseudo orbits. From the secular equation, whose roots provide the graph spectrum, the zeta function is derived using the argument principle. The spectral zeta function enables quantities, such as the spectral determinant and vacuum energy, to be obtained directly as finite expansions over the set of short irreducible pseudo orbits. - ArticleFull-text available

Inspired by a recent result of Davies and Pushnitski, we study resonance asymptotics of quantum graphs with general coupling conditions at the vertices. We derive a criterion for the asymptotics to be of a non-Weyl character. We show that for balanced vertices with permutation-invariant couplings the asymptotics is non-Weyl only in case of Kirchhoff or anti-Kirchhoff conditions, while for graphs without permutation numerous examples of non-Weyl behaviour can be constructed. Furthermore, we present an insight helping to understand what makes the Kirchhoff/anti-Kirchhoff coupling particular from the resonance point of view. Finally, we demonstrate a generalization to quantum graphs with nonequal edge weights. - Article

We consider the resonances of a quantum graph $\mathcal G$ that consists of a compact part with one or more infinite leads attached to it. We discuss the leading term of the asymptotics of the number of resonances of $\mathcal G$ in a disc of a large radius. We call $\mathcal G$ a \emph{Weyl graph} if the coefficient in front of this leading term coincides with the volume of the compact part of $\mathcal G$. We give an explicit topological criterion for a graph to be Weyl. In the final section we analyze a particular example in some detail to explain how the transition from the Weyl to the non-Weyl case occurs. Comment: 29 pages, 2 figures - ArticleFull-text available

We discuss quantum graphs consisting of a compact part and semiinfinite leads. Such a system may have embedded eigenvalues if some edge lengths in the compact part are rationally related. If such a relation is perturbed these eigenvalues may turn into resonances; we analyze this effect both generally and in simple examples. - Article

We consider a modification of the Winter model describing a quantum particle in presence of a spherical barrier given by a fixed generalized point interaction. It is shown that the three classes of such interactions correspond to three different types of asymptotic behaviour of resonances of the model at high energies. - ArticleFull-text available

We discuss resonances for Schr\"odinger operators on metric graphs which consists of a finite compact part and a finite number of halflines attached to it; the vertex coupling is assumed to be of the $\delta$-type or certain modifications of it. Using exterior complex scaling on the graph we show that the resolvent and scattering resonances coincide in this case.
