We present a new theorem concerning a sufficient condition for a symmetric operator acting in a complex Hilbert space to be essentially self-adjoint. By applying the theorem, we prove that the Dirac Maxwell Hamiltonian, which describes a…

Given a compact Riemannian spin manifold with positive scalar curvature, we find a family of connections $\nabla^{A_t}$ for $t\in[0,1]$ on a trivial vector bundle of sufficiently high rank, such that the first eigenvalue of the twisted…

We give a min-max characterization of the weighted Dirac eigenvalues, and show that the weighted eigenvalues and eigenspaces of Dirac operators are continuous with respect to weak $L^p$ convergence of the inverse weight, for any $p>n$.…

The Pauli operator describes the energy of a nonrelativistic quantum particle with spin 1/2 in a magnetic field and an external potential. Bounds on the sum of the negative eigenvalues are called magnetic Lieb-Thirring (MLT) inequalities.…

Given a commuting d-tuple $\bar T=(T_1,...,T_d)$ of otherwise arbitrary nonnormal operators on a Hilbert space, there is an associated Dirac operator $D_{\bar T}$. Significant attributes of the d-tuple are best expressed in terms of…

Quantum mechanics in the presence of $\delta$-function potentials is known to be plagued by UV divergencies which result from the singular nature of the potentials in question. The standard method for dealing with these divergencies is by…

We show that the eigenspaces of the Dirac operator $H=\alpha\cdot (D - A(x)) + m \beta $ at the threshold energies $\pm m$ are coincide with the direct sum of the zero space and the kernel of the Weyl-Dirac operator $\sigma\cdot (D -…

For closed connected Riemannian spin manifolds an upper estimate of the smallest eigenvalue of the Dirac operator in terms of the hyperspherical radius is proved. When combined with known lower Dirac eigenvalue estimates, this has a number…
