Abstract: Let $(G_{e}psilon{)}_{epsilon>0}$ be a family of '$epsilon$-thin' Riemannian manifolds modeled on a finite metric graph $G$, for example, the $epsilon$-neighborhood of an embedding of $G$ in some Euclidean space with straight edges. We study the asymptotic behavior of the spectrum of the Laplace-Beltrami operator on $G_{e}psilon$ as $epsilono0$, for various boundary conditions. We obtain complete asymptotic expansions for the $k$th eigenvalue and the eigenfunctions, uniformly for $kleqCepsilo{n}^{-1}$, in terms of scattering data on a non-compact limit space. We then use this to determine the quantum graph which is to be regarded as the limit object, in a spectral sense, of the family $(G_{e}psilon)$. Our method is a direct construction of approximate eigenfunctions from the scattering and graph data, and use of a priori estimates to show that all eigenfunctions are obtained in this way.
