We observe that the Hamiltonian H = D^2, where D is the flat 4d Dirac operator in a self-dual gauge background, is supersymmetric, admitting 4 different real supercharges. A generalization of this model to the motion on a curved conformally…

The spectrum of tight binding electrons on a square lattice with half a magnetic flux quantum per unit cell exhibits two Dirac points at the band center. We show that, in the presence of an additional uniaxial staggered potential, this pair…
We present an explicit two-parameter family of finite-band Jacobi elliptic potentials for a non-self-adjoint Dirac operator which connects two previously known limiting cases in which the elliptic parameter is zero or one. A full…
