The one-dimensional Dirac operator with a singular interaction term which is formally given by $A\otimes|\delta_0\rangle\langle\delta_0|$, where $A$ is an arbitrary $2\times 2$ matrix and $\delta_0$ stands for the Dirac distribution, is…

Consider a Dirac operator defined on the whole plane with a mass term of size m supported outside a domain Omega. We give a simple proof for the norm resolvent convergence, as m goes to infinity, of this operator to a Dirac operator defined…
We present a general proof that Dirac particles cannot be localized below their Compton length by symmetric but otherwise arbitrary scalar potentials. This proof does not invoke the Heisenberg uncertainty relation and thus does not rely on…
We consider the one-dimensional Dirac equation with the most general relativistic contact interaction supported on two points symmetrically located with respect to the origin. In order to determine the shape of the interaction, we use a…
The Dirac equation is considered in the background of potentials of several types, namely scalar and vector-potentials as well as "Dirac-oscillator" potential or some of its generalisations. We investigate the radial Dirac equation within a…
We propose a new method to construct a four parameter family of quantum-mechanical point interactions in one dimension, which is known as all possible self-adjoint extensions of the symmetric operator $T=-\Delta \lceil C^{\infty}_{0}({\bf…
We solve the Dirac equation in one space dimension for the case of a linear, Lorentz-scalar potential. This extends earlier work of Bhalerao and Ram [Am. J. Phys. 69 (7), 817-818 (2001)] by eliminating unnecessary constraints. The spectrum…
Let $\Omega_+\subset\mathbb{R}^{3}$ be a fixed bounded domain with boundary $\Sigma = \partial\Omega_{+}$. We consider $\mathcal{U}^\varepsilon$ a tubular neighborhood of the surface $\Sigma$ with a thickness parameter $\varepsilon>0$, and…
We discuss the continuum limit of discrete Dirac operators on the square lattice in $\mathbb R^2$ as the mesh size tends to zero. To this end, we propose the most natural and simplest embedding of $\ell^2(\mathbb Z_h^d)$ into $L^2(\mathbb…
The problem of self-adjoint extensions of Dirac-type operators in manifolds with boundaries is analysed. The boundaries might be regular or non-regular. The latter situation includes point-like interactions, also called delta-like…
We consider the linear Dirac operator with a (-1)-homogeneous locally periodic potential that varies with respect to a small parameter. Using the notation of G-convergence for positive self-adjoint operators in Hilbert spaces we prove…
We construct a one-dimensional contact interaction ($\epsilon$ potential) which induces the discontinuity of the wave function while keeping its derivative continuous. By combining the $\epsilon$ potential and the Dirac's $\delta$ function,…
We present a new type of approximation of a second-order elliptic operator in a planar domain with a point interaction. It is of a geometric nature, the approximating family consists of operators with the same symbol and regular…
