Abstract

We investigate the self-adjointness of the two-dimensional Dirac operator DD, with quantum-dot and Lorentz-scalar δ\delta-shell boundary conditions, on piecewise C2C^2 domains with finitely many corners. For both models, we prove the existence of a unique self-adjoint realization whose domain is included in the Sobolev space H1/2H^{1/2}, the formal form domain of the free Dirac operator. The main part of our paper consists of a description of the domain of DD^* in terms of the domain of DD and the set of harmonic functions that verify some mixed boundary conditions. Then, we give a detailed study of the problem on an infinite sector, where explicit computations can be made: we find the self-adjoint extensions for this case. The result is then translated to general domains by a coordinate transformation.
