Finite accumulation point conjecture for transmission eigenvalues

Assume kϵ>1/2k_\epsilon>1/\sqrt{2} and define

κ=kϵ214i2.\kappa=\sqrt{k_\epsilon^2-\frac14}-\frac{i}{2}.

This number is a pole of the Drude–Lorentz term, and the transmission eigenvalues are discrete outside the compact region KK described in the paper. Finite accumulation point conjecture. The point κ\kappa is a limit point of the transmission eigenvalues. Numerical evidence indicates that transmission eigenvalues accumulate at this pole, while the nature of this accumulation remains a completely open problem.
