The spectrum of massless Dirac electrons on the side surface of a three-dimensional weak topological insulator is significantly affected by whether the number of unit atomic layers constituting the sample is even or odd; it has a…
Let $\Omega$ be a open bounded domain in $\mathbb{R}^n $ with smooth boundary $\partial\Omega$. We consider the equation $ \Delta u + u^{\frac{n-k+2}{n-k-2}-\varepsilon} =0\,\hbox{ in }\,\Omega $, under zero Dirichlet boundary condition,…
The non-normality of Wilson-type lattice Dirac operators has important consequences - the application of the usual concepts from the textbook (hermitian) quantum mechanics should be reconsidered. This includes an appropriate definition of…
The Dirac operator enters into zero curvature representation for the cubic nonlinear Schr\"{o}dinger equation. We introduce and study a conformal map from the upper half-plane of the spectral parameter of the Dirac operator into itself. The…
We study the polarization tensor of a Dirac field in $(3+1)$ dimensions confined to a half space -- a problem motivated by applications to the condensed matter physics, and to Topological Insulators in particular. Although the Pauli-Villars…
A quantum field described by the field operator $\Delta_{a}=\Delta+ a\delta_\Sigma$ involving a $\delta$-like potential is considered. Mathematically, the treatment of the $\delta$-potential is based on the theory of self-adjoint extension…

We study the elliptic equation with a line Dirac delta function as the source term subject to the Dirichlet boundary condition in a two-dimensional domain. Such a line Dirac measure causes different types of solution singularities in the…
Suppose $d\ge 2$ and $0<\beta<\alpha<2$. We consider the non-local operator $\mathcal{L}^{b}=\Delta^{\alpha/2}+\mathcal{S}^{b}$, where $$\mathcal{S}^{b}f(x):=\lim_{\varepsilon\to…
We study the Neumann Laplacian operator $-\Delta_\Omega^N$ restricted to a twisted waveguide $\Omega$. The goal is to find the effective operator when the diameter of $\Omega$ tends to zero. However, when $\Omega$ is "squeezed" there are…
We investigate the spectral properties of a differential elliptic operator on $H^1(\bar{\Omega}\cup \Sigma)$, where $\Omega$ is a smooth domain surrounded by a layer $\Sigma$. The thickness of the layer is given by $\varepsilon h$, where…
We give an index formula for a class of Dirac operators coupled with unbounded potentials. More precisely, we study operators of the form P := D+ V, where D is a Dirac operators and V is an unbounded potential at infinity on a possibly…
We study localization and chirality properties of eigenvectors of the lattice Dirac operator. In particular we focus on the dependence of our observables on the size of the corresponding eigenvalue, which allows us to study the transition…
The Laplacian $\Delta_{\mathbb{S}^{n-1}}$ on the unit sphere $\mathbb{S}^{n-1}\subset \mathbb{R}^n$ has the property that it can explicitly be expressed in terms of $\Lambda$, the Dirichlet-to-Neumann map of the unit ball, as…
The Stokes resolvent problem $\lambda u - \Delta u + \nabla \phi = f$ with $\mathrm{div}(u) = 0$ subject to homogeneous Dirichlet or homogeneous Neumann-type boundary conditions is investigated. In the first part of the paper we show that…
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…
The purpose of this paper is to introduce and study Poincar\'e-Steklov (PS) operators associated to the Dirac operator $D_m$ with the so-called MIT bag boundary condition. In a domain $\Omega\subset\mathbb{R}^3$, for a complex number $z$…
We establish global existence and derive sharp pointwise decay estimates of solutions to cubic Dirac and Dirac-Klein-Gordon systems on a curved background, close to the Minkowski spacetime. By squaring the Dirac operator, we reduce the…
It is shown that a potential consisting of three Dirac's delta functions on the line with disappearing distances can give rise to the discontinuity in wave functions with the proper renormalization of the delta function strength. This can…
