## TL;DR

This paper studies how to approximate a complex magnetic Schrödinger operator with a singular potential using simpler operators in a mathematically rigorous way.

## Contribution

The paper provides a norm resolvent approximation for magnetic Schrödinger operators with δ-interactions on networks under minimal assumptions.

## Key findings

- The approximation is valid for Σ being a finite union of C²-hypersurfaces or a graph in R².
- The convergence result holds even when coefficients are complex-valued.
- Spectral implications of the convergence are analyzed.
