Table of Contents:
- On a star graph $G$ with $n = n_+ + n_-$ edges of unit length, we study the operator $-\frac{\mathrm{d}^2}{\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on $n_+$ and $\frac{\mathrm{d}^2}{\mathrm{d} x^2}$ on $n_-$ edges equipped with Dirichlet boundary conditions at the outer vertices and a Kirchhoff condition at the central vertex. We study the spectral properties of the corresponding indefinite Kirchhoff Laplacian on $G$ and we show that it is similar to a selfadjoint operator in the Hilbert space $L^2(G)$ and that its eigenfunctions form a Riesz basis. Furthermore, we give a complete description of the point spectrum.
