Schr\"odinger operator in the limit of shrinking wave-guide cross   section and singularity scaled twisting
  Motivated by the method of self-similar variables for the study of the large time behavior of the heat equation in twisted wave-guides whose non circular cross-section and the support of twisting diminushing simutaneously to zero. Since in this limit the strength of the twisting increases to infinity and its support shrinks to the point, we show that the corresponding Schr\"odinger operator converges in a suitable norm-resolvent sense to a one-dimensional harmonic oscillator on the reference line of the wave-guide, subject to some extra Dirichlet boundary condition at the twisting point support.
