We study the two-dimensional Dirac operator with an arbitrary combination of electrostatic and Lorentz scalar $\delta$-interactions of constant strengths supported on a smooth closed curve. For any combination of the coupling constants a…

We propose a symmetry of the Dirac equation under the interchange of signs of eigenvalues of the Dirac's $K$ operator. We show that the only potential which obeys this requirement is the Coulomb one for both vector and scalar cases.…

We generalize the Donsker-Varadhan minimax formula for the principal eigenvalue of a uniformly elliptic operator in nondivergence form to the first principal half-eigenvalue of a fully nonlinear operator which is concave (or convex) and…

We consider a single particle which is bound by a central potential and obeys the Dirac equation. We compare two cases in which the masses are the same but Va < Vb, where V is the time-component of a vector potential. We prove generally…

We discuss a novel strategy for computing the eigenvalues and eigenfunctions of the relativistic Dirac operator with a radially symmetric potential. The virtues of this strategy lie on the fact that it avoids completely the phenomenon of…

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…

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 study the behavior of the spectrum of the Dirac operator on collapsing S^1-bundles. Convergent eigenvalues will exist if and only if the spin structure is projectable.

We prove eigenvalue bounds for Schr\"odinger operator $-\Delta_g+V$ on compact manifolds with complex potentials $V$. The bounds depend only on an $L^q$-norm of the potential, and they are shown to be optimal, in a certain sense, on the…

We study the eigenvalue spectrum of different lattice Dirac operators (staggered, fixed point, overlap) and discuss their dependence on the topological sectors. Although the model is 2D (the Schwinger model with massless fermions) our…

We describe the self-adjoint realizations of the operator $H:=-i\alpha\cdot \nabla + m\beta + \mathbb V(x)$, for $m\in\mathbb R $, and $\mathbb V(x)= |x|^{-1} ( \nu \mathbb{I}_4 +\mu \beta -i \lambda \alpha\cdot{x}/{|x|}\,\beta)$, for…

In this paper, quantitative upper estimates for the number of eigenvalues lying below the essential spectrum of Schroedinger operators with potentials generated by Ahlfors regular measures in a strip subject to two different types of…

In this survey, we give an introduction to and proof of the gap labelling theorem for discrete one-dimensional ergodic Schr\"odinger operators via the Schwartzman homomorphism. To keep the paper relatively self-contained, we include…

We prove a lower estimate for the first eigenvalue of the Dirac operator on a compact locally reducible Riemannian spin manifold with positive scalar curvature. We determine also the universal covers of the manifolds on which the smallest…

The primary purpose of the present paper is to investigate when relations of the types $|AB|=|A||B|$, $|A\pm B|\leq |A|+|B|$, $||A|-|B||\leq |A\pm B|$ and $|\overline{\text{Re} A}|\leq |A|$ (among others) hold in an unbounded operator…

In this note the three dimensional Dirac operator $A_m$ with boundary conditions, which are the analogue of the two dimensional zigzag boundary conditions, is investigated. It is shown that $A_m$ is self-adjoint in…

It is well known that, given an equivariant and continuous (in a suitable sense) family of selfadjoint operators in a Hilbert space over a minimal dynamical system, the spectrum of all operators from that family coincides. As shown recently…

We give a new upper bound for the smallest eigenvalues of the Dirac operator on a Riemannian flow carrying transversal Killing spinors. We derive an estimate on Sasakian and on 3-dimensional manifolds and partially classify those satisfying…

A reduction of the transmission eigenvalue problem for multiplicative sign-definite perturbations of elliptic operators with constant coefficients to an eigenvalue problem for a non-selfadjoint compact operator is given. Sufficient…
