Title: Cantor spectrum of a model of graphene in magnetic field
Place: Pontificia Universidad Católica de Chile, Facultad de Matemáticas (Campus San Joaquin), Sala 5
Abstract:
We consider a quantum graph as a model of graphene in magnetic fi elds and give a complete analysis of the spectrum, for all constant fluxes. In particular, we show that if the reduced magnetic flux  through a honeycomb is irrational, the continuous spectrum is an unbounded Cantor set of Lebesgue measure zero and Hausdorff dimension bounded by 1/2.

Based on joint works with S. Becker, R. Han, and also I. Krasovsky
