We consider the two-dimensional Schrödinger operator with a δ-potential supported by curve. For the cases of infinite and closed finite smooth curves, we obtain lower bounds on the spectrum of the considered operator that are expressed explicitly in terms of the interaction strength and a parameter characterizing the curve geometry. We estimate the bottom of the spectrum for a piecewise smooth curve...
