Description

We discuss spectral properties of the Laplacian with multiple ($N$) point interactions in two-dimensional bounded regions. A mathematically sound formulation for the problem is given within the framework of the self-adjoint extension of a symmetric (Hermitian) operator in functional analysis. The eigenvalues of this system are obtained as the poles of a transition matrix which has size $N$. Closely examining a generic behavior of the eigenvalues of the transition matrix as a function of the energy, we deduce the general condition under which point interactions have a substantial effect on statistical properties of the spectrum.
