Magnetic interpretation of the nodal defect on graphs
arXiv:1201.1110 · doi:10.2140/apde.2013.6.1235
Abstract
In this note, we present a natural proof of a recent and surprising result of Gregory Berkolaiko (arXiv 1110.5373) interpreting the "Courant nodal defect" of a Schrödinger operator on a finite graph as a Morse index associated to the deformations of the operator by switching on a magnetic field. This proof is inspired by a nice paper of Miroslav Fiedler published in 1975.
