The two-dimensional Dirac operator describes low-energy excitations in graphene. Different choices for the boundary conditions give rise to qualitative differences in the spectrum of the resulting operator. For a family of boundary…

We prove almost Lipshitz continuity of spectra of singular quasiperiodic Jacobi matrices and obtain a representation of the critical almost Mathieu family that has a singularity. This allows us to prove that the Hausdorff dimension of its…

We consider the Dirac operator with a periodic potential on the half-line with the Dirichlet boundary condition at zero. Its spectrum consists of an absolutely continuous part plus at most one eigenvalue in each open gap. The Dirac…

Let $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$ be an open set, we study the spectral properties of the free Dirac operator $\mathcal{H}$ coupled with the singular potential $V_\kappa=(\epsilon I_4 +\mu\beta+\eta(\alpha\cdot N))\delta_{\partial\Omega}$.…

In this work we prove that the eigenvalues of the $n$-dimensional massive Dirac operator $\mathscr{D}_0 + V$, $n\ge2$, perturbed by a possibly non-Hermitian potential $V$, are localized in the union of two disjoint disks of the complex…

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…

We investigate spectral features of the Dirac operator with infinite mass boundary conditions in a smooth bounded domain of $\mathbb{R}^2$. Motivated by spectral geometric inequalities, we prove a non-linear variational formulation to…

We consider a two-dimensional massless Dirac operator coupled to a magnetic field $B$ and an electric potential $V$ growing at infinity. We find a characterization of the spectrum of the resulting operator $H$ in terms of the relation…

We discuss how to generalize a Dirac operator such that the solution of a Dirac equation is of bounded variation rather than continuous. We build the spectral theory for generalized Dirac operators and discuss the connection between them…
