%0 Journal Article %T On the spectrum of narrow Neumann waveguide with periodically distributed $¦Ä'$ traps %A Pavel Exner %A Andrii Khrabustovskyi %J Mathematics %D 2014 %I arXiv %X We analyze a family of singular Schr\"odinger operators describing a Neumann waveguide with a periodic array of singular traps of a $\delta'$ type. We show that in the limit when perpendicular size of the guide tends to zero and the $\delta'$ interactions are appropriately scaled, the first spectral gap is determined exclusively by geometric properties of the traps. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/1405.1367v1
