We study asymptotical behaviour of resonances for a quantum graph consisting of a finite internal part and external leads placed into a magnetic field, in particular, the question whether their number follows the Weyl law. We prove that the presence of a magnetic field cannot change a non-Weyl asymptotics into a Weyl one and vice versa. On the other hand, we present examples demonstrating that for some non-Weyl graphs the effective size of the graph, and therefore the resonance asymptotics, can be affected by the magnetic field.

We analyse two-dimensional Schrdinger operators with the potential| xy| p (x 2+ y 2) p/(p+ 2) where p 1 and 0. We show that there is a critical value of such that the spectrum for < crit is bounded below and purely discrete, while for > crit it is unbounded from below. In the subcritical case, we prove upper and lower bounds for the eigenvalue sums.

We study Schrdinger operators on an infinite quantum graph of a chain form which consists of identical rings connected at the touching points by -couplings with a parameter\alpha\in {\bb R}. If the graph is' straight', ie periodic with respect to ring shifts, its Hamiltonian has a band spectrum with all the gaps open whenever 0. We consider a'bending'deformation of the chain consisting of changing one position at a single ring and show that it gives rise to eigenvalues in the open spectral gaps. We analyze dependence of these eigenvalues on the coupling and the'bending angle'as well as resonances of the system coming from the bending. We also discuss the behaviour of the eigenvalues and resonances at the edges of the spectral bands.

We consider a class of Hamiltonians in L2(R2) with attractive interaction supported by piecewise C2 smooth loops of a fixed length L, formally given by (x) with >0. It is shown that the ground state of this operator is locally maximized by a circular . We also conjecture that this property holds globally and show that the problem is related to an interesting family of geometric inequalities concerning mean values of chords of .
