Abstract

We study a class of positive matrix Hamiltonians arising from the canonical differential expressions of Melik-Adamyan and appearing in the appendix of Alpay--Gohberg. Let JJ and BB be self-adjoint involutions on C2n\mathbb{C}^{2n} satisfying JB=BJJB=-BJ, and let H>0\mathcal{H}>0 satisfy HJH=J\mathcal{H} J\mathcal{H}=J. For m>0m>0 we consider Am,H=H1(iJddt+mB) \mathcal A_{m,\mathcal{H}} = \mathcal{H}^{-1}\left(-iJ\frac d{dt}+mB\right) in the weighted space LH2L^2_{\mathcal{H}}. A locally absolutely continuous JJ-unitary gauge Θ\Theta representing H\mathcal{H} reduces this expression to the free massive Dirac operator plus the Hermitian coefficient Pm,Θ=iΘJΘ+m(ΘBΘB). P_{m,\Theta}=-i\Theta^*J\Theta'+m(\Theta^*B\Theta-B). Whenever this coefficient belongs to L2L^2, the corresponding self-adjoint realization, including its operator domain, is independent of the chosen representing gauge. Minimizing TrPm,Θ2\int{\rm Tr}|P_{m,\Theta}|^2 over the gauge fibre defines an intrinsic energy. A two-sided Birman--Schwinger decoupling, combined with a truncated pseudo-relativistic estimate proved here, gives a 3/23/2-moment bound for all eigenvalues in the gap (m,m)(-m,m) in terms of this energy. The Dirac estimate applies to arbitrary Hermitian matrix coefficients in L2L^2 and requires no sign condition. On the half-line we treat every self-adjoint Lagrangian boundary condition. Two reflection-compatible conditions require no endpoint correction, while an arbitrary condition contributes at most 2nm3/22nm^{3/2}. At zero mass, the optimal-gauge energy is computed explicitly in terms of H1/2HH1/2\mathcal{H}^{-1/2} \mathcal{H}' \mathcal{H}^{-1/2}. For a scalar hyperbolic-rotation family the massive gauge minimization reduces exactly to a one-dimensional phase functional. We prove existence of a minimizer in the principal phase sector and give an explicit trial phase that strictly and quantitatively improves the positive lift whenever the corresponding first variation is nonzero.
