Spectrum of symmetric point-connected self-similar graphs and fractals

Alexander Teplyaev of University of Connecticut


I will discuss how to compute spectrum of the Laplacian on a class of point-connected highly symmetric self-similar graphs.

Examples of such graphs include the one dimensional integer lattice, and the lattice corresponding to the Sierpinski gasket.

I also will discuss localization of eigenfunctions, and continuous limits of such Laplacians.
