Abstract

Electrostatic properties of two-dimensional nanosystems can be completely described by their non-trivial geometry modes. In this paper we prove that these modes as well as the corresponding eigenvalues are invariant under any conformal transformation. This invariance suggests a new way to study electrostatic conformal transformations, while also providing an in-depth interpretation of the behavior exhibited by singular plasmonic nanoparticles.
