We prove essential self-adjointness of Dirac operators with Lorentz scalar potentials which grow sufficiently fast near the boundary $\partial\Omega$ of the spatial domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb R^d$. On the way, we first consider general…
In this paper we will prove new extrinsic upper bounds for the eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on an isometrically immersed surface $M^2 \hookrightarrow {\Bbb R}^3$ as well as intrinsic bounds for 2-dimensional compact manifolds of genus…
In this article we discuss the Dirac equation in the presence of an attractive cylindrical \delta-shell potential V(\rho)=-a\delta(\rho-\rho_0), where \rho is the radial coordinate and a>0. We present a detailed discussion on the boundary…
We derive an inequality that relates nodal set and eigenvalues of a class of twisted Dirac operators on closed surfaces and point out how this inequality naturally arises as an eigenvalue estimate for the $\rm Spin^c$ Dirac operator. This…
We present a detailed study of the interplay between chiral symmetry and spectral properties of the Dirac operator in lattice gauge theories. We consider, in the framework of the Schwinger model, the fixed point action and a fermion action…
In differential geometry of surfaces the Dirac operator appears intrinsically as a tool to address the immersion problem as well as in an extrinsic flavour (that comes with spin transformations to comformally transfrom immersions) and the…
We analyze a family of singular Schr\"odinger operators with local singular interactions supported by a hypersurface $\Sigma \subset \mathbb{R}^n, n \ge 2$, being the boundary of a Lipschitz domain, bounded or unbounded, not necessarily…
An effective approach for solving the three-dimensional Dirac equation for spherically symmetric local interactions, which we have introduced recently, is reviewed and consolidated. The merit of the approach is in producing Schrodinger-like…

We investigate the eigenvalues and eigenvectors of the staggered Dirac operator in the vicinity of the chiral phase transition of quenched SU(3) lattice gauge theory. We consider both the global features of the spectrum and the local…
The paper deals with singular Schr\"odinger operators of the form \begin{gather*} -{\mathrm{d}^2\over \mathrm{d} x^2 } + \sum_{k\in\mathbb{Z} }\gamma_k \delta(\cdot-z_k),\quad \gamma_k\in\mathbb{R}, \end{gather*} in…
We consider Schr\"odinger operators with a strongly attractive singular interaction supported by a finite curve $\Gamma$ of lenghth $L$ in $\R^3$. We show that if $\Gamma$ is $C^4$-smooth and has regular endpoints, the $j$-th eigenvalue of…
Let $S\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be a $C^4$-smooth relatively compact orientable surface with a sufficiently regular boundary. For $\beta\in\mathbb{R}_+$, let $E_j(\beta)$ denote the $j$th negative eigenvalue of the operator associated with the…
An elementary treatment of the Dirac Equation in the presence of a three-dimensional spherically symmetric $\delta (r-r_0)$-potential is presented. We show how to handle the matching conditions in the configuration space, and discuss the…

We study the spectrum of the Dirac operator on hyperbolic manifolds of finite volume. Depending on the spin structure it is either discrete or the whole real line. For link complements in S^3 we give a simple criterion in terms of linking…
We investigate Schr\"odinger operators with \delta- and \delta'-interactions supported on hypersurfaces, which separate the Euclidean space into finitely many bounded and unbounded Lipschitz domains. It turns out that the combinatorial…
This paper is devoted to mathematical and physical properties of the Dirac operator and spectral geometry. Spin-structures in Lorentzian and Riemannian manifolds, and the global theory of the Dirac operator, are first analyzed. Elliptic…
