We study a self-adjoint realization of a massless Dirac operator on a bounded connected domain $\Omega\subset \mathbb{R}^2$ which is frequently used to model graphene quantum dots. In particular, we show that this operator is the limit, as…
We solve for spectrum, obtain explicitly and study group properties of eigenfunctions of Dirac operator on the Riemann sphere $S^2$. The eigenvalues $\lambda$ are nonzero integers. The eigenfunctions are two-component spinors that belong to…
We discuss some properties of zero and near-zero modes of the Dirac operator, as observed in a recent simulation of 2-flavor QCD. The quarks have been implemented with the so-called Chirally Improved Dirac operator, which obeys the…
We derive an analytical expression for the distribution of the k-th smallest Dirac eigenvalue in QCD with imaginary isospin chemical potential in the Dirac operator. Because of its dependence on the pion decay constant F through the…
A new class of lattice Dirac operators $D$ which satisfy the index theorem have been recently proposed on the basis of the algebraic relation $\gamma_{5}(\gamma_{5}D) + (\gamma_{5}D)\gamma_{5} = 2a^{2k+1}(\gamma_{5}D)^{2k+2}$. Here $k$…
In this paper, we study a singular perturbation of a problem used in dimension two to model graphene or in dimension three to describe the quark confinement phenomenon in hadrons. The operators we consider are of the form $H + M\beta V…
We consider the Dirac operator on compact quaternionic Kaehler manifolds and prove a lower bound for the spectrum. This estimate is sharp since it is the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on the quaternionic projective space.
The Dirac operator provides a unified framework for processing signals defined over different order topological domains, such as node and edge signals. Its eigenmodes define a spectral representation that inherently captures cross-domain…

In this paper the two-dimensional Dirac operator with a general hermitian $\delta$-shell interaction supported on a straight line is introduced as a self-adjoint operator and its spectral properties are investigated in detail. In…
We study some dynamical properties of a Dirac field in 2+1 dimensions with spacetime dependent domain wall defects. We show that the Callan and Harvey mechanism applies even to the case of defects of arbitrary shape, and in a general state…
We investigate the self-adjointness of the two-dimensional Dirac operator $D$, with quantum-dot and Lorentz-scalar $\delta$-shell boundary conditions, on piecewise $C^2$ domains with finitely many corners. For both models, we prove the…
This paper is devoted to a general min-max characterization of the eigenvalues in a gap of the essential spectrum of a self-adjoint unbounded operator. We prove an abstract theorem, then we apply it to the case of Dirac operators with a…
We carry out the spectral analysis of matrix valued perturbations of 3-dimensional Dirac operators with variable magnetic field of constant direction. Under suitable assumptions on the magnetic field and on the pertubations, we obtain a…
