First, it is shown that the gap between the lowest point of the generalised spectrum and the essential spectrum is positive whenever the cross-section is centrally symmetric and the tube is asymptotically straight, untwisted and non-trivially bent. Second, a Hardy-type inequality is derived for unbent and non-trivially twisted tubes.}, organization = {Czech Science Foundation EXPRO 20-17749X}, organization = {Czech Technical University in Prague}, organization = {National Science Centre, Poland (2020/37/B/ST1/02742)}, organization = {INdAM-GNAMPA Project 2023 (E53C22001930001)}, organization = {MICINN/AEI IMAG-Maria de Maeztu Excellence Grant CEX2020-001105-M}, publisher = {Elsevier}, title = {Curved nonlinear waveguides}, doi = {10.1016/j.na.2025.113814}, author = {Baldelli, Laura and Krejčiřík, David}, }
