Overview

Abstract

We determine the leading eigenvalue-counting asymptotic for a class of infinite-volume Dirichlet tubes confined by diverging twisting. The planar cross-section is a compact annular polar strip with positive C^1 angular width α(r)<2π, and the twisting speed is c(1+s^2)^(p/2), where c,p>0. We prove N(Λ)∼ CΛ^(3/2+1/(2p)) and compute C explicitly in terms of ζ(1+1/p) and ∫ rα(r)^(1+1/p)d r. The proof retains the angular Dirichlet modes while treating the radial and longitudinal variables semiclassically. A uniform Dirichlet-box comparison obtained from quasiperiodic phase averaging and IMS localization controls the artificial longitudinal boundaries. A separate tail estimate and absolute-coefficient freezing justify the global limit. The result gives a concrete-class answer to the Weyl-asymptotics question for tubes with asymptotically diverging twisting.
