Generic two-hot-spots conjecture for quantum graphs

About 6 years old · traced to

Let ammaamma be a metric graph satisfying the standing assumptions of the paper. Write mu2(amma)mu_2(amma) for its second eigenvalue, and let MM be the set of global minima and maxima of corresponding second eigenfunctions.

Generic two-hot-spots conjecture. Generically, mu2(amma)mu_2(amma) is simple and the corresponding eigenfunction has exactly one minimum and one maximum, so that ∣M∣=2|M|=2.

The paper has results showing that this behaviour can be obtained after small modifications, but the generic assertion remains conjectural in the supplied text.
