Abstract
We consider the Dirichlet Laplacian in a domain formed by two three-dimensional parallel layers having common boundary and coupled by a window. The window produces the bound states below the essential spectrum; we obtain two-sided estimates for them. It is also shown that the eigenvalues emerge from the threshold of the essential spectrum as the window passes through certain critical shapes. We prove the necessary condition for the window to be of critical shape. Under an additional assumption we show that this condition is sufficient and obtain the asymptotic expansion for the emerging eigenvalue and for the associated eigenfunction.
