Fractional Laplacian in V-shaped waveguide

Abstract: The spectral properties of the restricted fractional Dirichlet Laplacian in ${\sf V}$-shaped waveguides are studied. The continuous spectrum for such domains with cylindrical outlets is known to occupy the ray $[\Lambda_\dagger, +\infty)$ with the threshold corresponding to the smallest eigenvalue of the cross-sectional problems. In this work the presence of a discrete spectrum at any junction angle is established along with the monotonic dependence of the discrete spectrum on the angle.
