Nonrelativistic Limit of Generalized MIT Bag Models and Spectral Inequalities

For a family of self-adjoint Dirac operators $-i c (\alpha \cdot \nabla) + \frac{c^2}{2}$ subject to generalized MIT bag boundary conditions on domains in $\mathbb R^3$ it is shown that the nonrelativistic limit in the norm resolvent sense is the Dirichlet Laplacian. This allows to transfer spectral geometry results for Dirichlet Laplacians to Dirac operators for large $c$.
