In this work we study Dirac operators on two-dimensional domains coupled to a magnetic field perpendicular to the plane. We focus on the infinite-mass boundary condition (also called MIT bag condition). In the case of bounded domains, we…

Let M be a closed spin manifold of dimension at least three with a fixed topological spin structure. For any Riemannian metric, we can construct the associated Dirac operator. The spectrum of this Dirac operator depends on the metric of…

We give an elegant formulation of the structure equations (of Cartan) and the Bianchi identities in terms of exterior calculus without reference to a particular basis and without the exterior covariant derivative. This approach allows both…

The Dirac equation with a U(1) vortex in the mass-term is solved in the presence of magnetic-like fields at zero energy. By drawing an analogy to classical mechanics, it is shown that the four-component Dirac equation in arbitrary magnetic…

The angular momentum of any quantum system should be {\it unambiguously} quantized. We show that such a quantization fails for a pure Dirac monopole due to a previously overlooked field angular momentum from the monopole-electric charge…

We develop a quaternionic electrodynamics and show that it naturally supports the existence of magnetic monopoles. We obtained the field equations, the continuity equation, the electrodynamic force law, the Poynting vector, the energy…

Dirac in 1931 gave a beautiful argument for the quantization of electric charge, which required only the existence in the universe of one magnetic monopole, because gauge invariance of the interaction between the pole and any charge could…

The missed particle-antiparticle degrees of freedom are retrieved and the corresponding particle-antiparticle intrinsic space are introduced to study the dynamical symmetry of the Dirac particle. As a result, the particle-antiparticle…

The behaviour of a Dirac electron in graphene, under magnetic fields which are orthogonal to the layer, is studied. The initial problem is reduced to an equivalent one, where two one-dimensional Schr\"{o}dinger Hamiltonians $H^{\pm}$ are…
