Stability of eigenvalues of quantum graphs with respect to magnetic perturbation and the nodal count of the eigenfunctions. Academic Article uri icon

abstract

  • We prove an analogue of the magnetic nodal theorem on quantum graphs: the number of zeros of the nth eigenfunction of the Schrdinger operator on a quantum graph is related to the stability of the nth eigenvalue of the perturbation of the operator by magnetic potential. More precisely, we consider the nth eigenvalue as a function of the magnetic perturbation and show that its Morse index at zero magnetic field is equal to - (n-1).
