In this paper, we construct a Dirac star model composed of $|\kappa|$ pairs of spinor fields. The azimuthal harmonic indeces $m$ of these spinor fields are half-integers, and they satisfiy $-(|\kappa|-\frac{1}{2})\leq m \leq…

The paper analyses the decay of any zero modes that might exist for a massless Dirac operator $H:= \ba \cdot (1/i) \bgrad + Q, $ where $Q$ is $4 \times 4$-matrix-valued and of order $O(|\x|^{-1})$ at infinity. The approach is based on…
