On eigenvalue asymptotics for strong delta-interactions supported by surfaces with boundaries
, 2015 Let $S\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be a $C^4$-smooth relatively compact orientable surface with a sufficiently regular boundary. For $\beta\in\mathbb{R}_+$, let $E_j(\beta)$ denote the $j$th negative eigenvalue of the operator associated with the quadratic form \

An isoperimetric problem for leaky loops and related mean-chord inequalities
, 2005 We consider a class of Hamiltonians in $L^2(\R^2)$ with attractive interaction supported by piecewise $C^2$ smooth loops $\Gamma$ of a fixed length $L$, formally given by $-\Delta-\alpha\delta(x-\Gamma)$ with $\alpha>0$. It is shown that the ground state
