Given an open set $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$. We deal with the spectral study of Dirac operators of the form $H_{a,\tau}=H+A_{a,\tau}\delta_{\partial\Omega}$, where $H$ is the free Dirac operator in $\mathbb{R}^3$, $A_{a,\tau}$ is a…

The construction of Dirac delta type potentials has been achieved with the use of the theory of self adjoint extensions of non-self adjoint formally Hermitian (symmetric) operators. The application of this formalism to investigate the…

We explore the Hamiltonian operator H=-d^2/dx^2 + z \delta(x) where x is real, \delta(x) is the Dirac delta function, and z is an arbitrary complex coupling constant. For a purely imaginary z, H has a (real) spectral singularity at…
