The energies of Andreev bound states (ABS) forming in a $N$-terminal junction are affected by $N - 1$ independent macroscopic phase differences between superconducting leads and can be regarded as energy bands in $N - 1$ periodic solid owing to the $2\pi$ periodicity in all phases. We investigate the singularities and peculiarities of the resulting ABS spectrum combining phenomenological and analytical methods and illustrating with the numerical results. We pay special attention on spin-orbit… Expand
