On a \(\mathcal{PT}\)-symmetric waveguide with a pair of small holes (Q2447020)

The paper is devoted to the theory of waveguides. Let \({\mathcal T}\) be the complex conjugation operator, and \(P(u)(x)= u(-x)\) for all \(x, u\). The paper deals with operator \({\mathcal H}\) which is the Laplacian with such boundary condition that \({\mathcal H}{\mathcal P}{\mathcal T}= {\mathcal P}{\mathcal T}{\mathcal H}- {\mathcal P}{\mathcal T}\) is a symmetric operator. The paper considers a planar horizontal infinite straight strip with a pair of small symmetric holes. For \({\mathcal H}\), uniform resolvent convergence is established. The effect of new eigenvalues generated from the continuous spectrum by the pair of small holes is studied.
