Abstract: We consider the Laplacian on a class of smooth domains OmegasubsetmathbbRu, uge2, with attractive Robin boundary conditions: [ Q^Omega_alpha u=-Delta u, quad dfrac{partial u}{partial n}=alpha u ext{ on } partialOmega, alpha>0, ] where n is the outer unit normal, and study the asymptotics of its eigenvalues Ej(QOmegaalpha) as well as some other spectral properties for alphao+infty We work with both compact domains and non-compact ones with a suitable behavior at infinity. For domains with compact C2 boundaries and fixed j, we show that [ E_{j}(Q^Omega_alpha)=-alpha^2+mu_j(alpha)+{mathcal O}(log alpha), ] where muj(alpha) is the jmboxth eigenvalue, as soon as it exists, of DeltaS(u1)alphaH with (DeltaS) and H being respectively the positive Laplace-Beltrami operator and the mean curvature on partialOmega. Analogous results are obtained for a class of domains with non-compact boundaries. In particular, we discuss the existence of eigenvalues in non-compact domains and the existence of spectral gaps for periodic domains. We also show that the remainder estimate can be improved under stronger regularity assumptions. The effective Hamiltonian DeltaS(u1)alphaH enters the framework of semi-classical Schr"odinger operators on manifolds, and we provide the asymptotics of its eigenvalues in the limit alphao+infty under various geometrical assumptions. In particular, we describe several cases for which our asymptotics provides gaps between the eigenvalues of QOmegaalpha for large alpha.
