We study the massive two dimensional Dirac operator with an electric potential. In particular, we show that the $t^{-1}$ decay rate holds in the $L^1\to L^\infty$ setting if the threshold energies are regular. We also show these bounds hold…
In this paper we consider Dirac operators in $\mathbb R^n$, $n\geq2$, with a potential $V$. Under mild decay and continuity assumptions on $V$ and some spectral assumptions on the operator, we prove a limiting absorption principle for the…
Dispersive time-decay estimates are proved for a one-parameter family of one-dimensional Dirac Hamiltonians with dislocations; these are operators which interpolate between two phase-shifted massive Dirac Hamiltonians at $x=+\infty$ and…
We investigate $L^1(\R^2)\to L^\infty(\R^2)$ dispersive estimates for the Schr\"odinger operator $H=-\Delta+V$ when there are obstructions, resonances or an eigenvalue, at zero energy. In particular, we show that the existence of an s-wave…
We study the dispersive properties of the wave equation and the massless Dirac equation in three space dimensions, perturbed with electromagnetic potentials. The potentials are assumed to be small but may be rough. For both equations, we…

We prove that for a Dirac operator with no resonance at thresholds nor eigenvalue at thresholds the propagator satisfies propagation and dispersive estimates. When this linear operator has only two simple eigenvalues close enough, we study…
We derive dispersion estimates for solutions of the one-dimensional discrete perturbed Dirac equation. To this end we develop basic scattering theory and establish a limiting absorption principle for discrete perturbed Dirac operators.
In this work we study the Dirac equation on the cosmic string background, which models a one--dimensional topological defect in the spacetime. We first define the Dirac operator in this setting, classifying all of its selfadjoint…
A new (scalar) spectral decomposition is found for the Dirac system in two dimensions associated to the focusing Davey--Stewartson II (DSII) equation. Discrete spectrum in the spectral problem corresponds to eigenvalues embedded into a…
We consider the two-dimensional Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions posed in a tubular neighborhood of a $C^4$-planar curve. Under generic assumptions on its curvature $\kappa$, we prove that in the thin-width regime the…
A perturbation decaying to 0 at infinity and not too irregular at 0 introduces at most a discrete set of eigenvalues into the spectral gaps of a one-dimensional Dirac operator on the half-line. We show that the number of these eigenvalues…
We formulate the Dirac equation for a massive neutral spin-half particle on a rotating black hole spacetime, and we consider its (quasi)bound states: gravitationally-trapped modes which are regular across the future event horizon. These…
