Abstract

We determine the leading Dirichlet eigenvalue count for rapidly twisted Euclidean tubes whose inverse twisting speed is a power times a smooth positive logarithmically periodic function. The actual operator count is an explicit periodic profile, without a regular-variation hypothesis. The Fourier multiplier factors into a nonvanishing universal factor and a complex angular-width moment. This gives a necessary and sufficient criterion for recovery of the inverse-speed modulation from the complete leading profile. A fixed connected two-width cross-section hides every odd logarithmic harmonic. In particular, smooth strictly increasing non-regularly-varying speeds on this same geometry have the pure-power law N(Λ) = Λ²/(6π) + o(Λ²) for two identical ends. The ambiguity is infinite dimensional, whereas visible modes admit conditional Sobolev recovery. For constant-step sections and inverse speeds with derivative bounded above and away from zero, we also prove an O(Λ⁷⁄⁴) counting remainder. A mixed-homogeneity inverse speed then has a genuine second periodic spectral profile: every mode of its lower-order modulation is visible on the example geometry.

Scope

The leading-profile theorem applies to the stated rapidly twisted Euclidean tubes and logarithmically periodic inverse speeds on admissible finite-band cross-sections. Blindness concerns the complete leading counting profile on a fixed known geometry. The quantitative O(Λ⁷⁄⁴) remainder has narrower constant-step hypotheses. Actual second-profile recovery applies to the mixed-homogeneity class with 1/2 < δ < 1. Both previously published twisted-tube papers remain separate and unchanged.

Disclosures

AI tools assisted mathematical exploration, drafting and independent internal checks, as disclosed in the manuscript. Classical transform-zero cancellation and log-periodic theory, earlier spectral work and the author’s two existing twisted-tube publications are credited.

Reproduction

The six-member source package contains the complete twelve-page PDF, self-contained main.tex with bibliography, reader instructions, CITATION.cff, MANIFEST.json and SHA256SUMS.
