Spectral analysis of Grushin type operators on the quarter plane

We investigate spectral properties of self-adjoint extensions of the operator $$ G_{α,β}=-\Big(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial r^2}+\frac{2\a+1}{r}\frac{\partial}{\partial r} \Big) -r^2 \Big(\frac{\partial^2}{\partial s^2}+\frac{2\b+1}{s}\frac{\partial}{\partial s} \Big), $$ $\a,\b\in\R$, with domain $\D
