Schrödinger operators with $δ$-interactions supported on conical surfaces

Abstract: We investigate the spectral properties of self-adjoint Schr\"odinger operators with attractive $\delta$-interactions of constant strength $\alpha > 0$ supported on conical surfaces in ${\mathbb R}^3$. It is shown that the essential spectrum is given by $[-\alpha^2/4,+\infty)$ and that the discrete spectrum is infinite and accumulates to $-\alpha^2/4$. Furthermore, an asymptotic estimate of these eigenvalues is obtained.
