We introduced some contact potentials that can be written as a linear combination of the Dirac delta and its first derivative, the $\delta$-$\delta'$ interaction. After a simple general presentation in one dimension, we briefly discuss a…

The problem of self-adjoint extensions of Dirac-type operators in manifolds with boundaries is analysed. The boundaries might be regular or non-regular. The latter situation includes point-like interactions, also called delta-like…
