In general, the stability of a band crossing point indicates the presence of a quantized topological number associated with it. In particular, the recent discovery of three-dimensional Dirac semimetals in Na$_{3}$Bi and Cd$_{3}$As$_{2}$…

We consider Dirac-like operators with piecewise constant mass terms on spin manifolds, and we study the behaviour of their spectra when the mass parameters become large. In several asymptotic regimes, effective operators appear: the…

Dirac's approach to gauge symmetries is discussed. We follow closely the steps that led him from his conjecture concerning the generators of gauge transformations {\it at a given time} --to be contrasted with the common view of gauge…

A practical implementation of the Overlap-Dirac operator ${{1+\gamma_5\epsilon(H)}\over 2}$ is presented. The implementation exploits the sparseness of $H$ and does not require full storage. A simple application to parity invariant three…

We consider a fully-coupled slow-fast system of McKean-Vlasov SDEs with full dependence on the slow and fast component and on the law of the slow component and derive convergence rates to its homogenized limit. We do not make periodicity…

We obtain exact solution of the Dirac equation for a charged particle with position-dependent mass in the Coulomb field. The effective mass of the spinor has a relativistic component which is proportional to the square of the Compton…

In his book Mickelsson notices that the infinite-dimensional Grassmannian manifold of Segal and Wilson admits a Spin^c structure and after this he naturally considers the problem of defining a Dirac operator on it. Mickelsson gives a…

A Dirac comb of point measures in Euclidean space with bounded complex weights that is supported on a lattice inherits certain general properties from the lattice structure. In particular, its autocorrelation admits a factorization into a…

We consider the four-component two-valley Dirac operator on a wedge in $\mathbb{R}^2$ with infinite mass boundary conditions, which enjoy a flip at the vertex. We show that it has deficiency indices $(1,1)$ and we parametrize all its…

In this paper we study random perturbations of first order elliptic operators with periodic potentials. We are mostly interested in Hamiltonians modeling graphene antidot lattices with impurities. The unperturbed operator $H_0 := D_S + V_0$…

This paper deals with the homogenization problem for a one-dimensional parabolic PDE with random stationary mixing coefficients in the presence of a large zero order term. We show that under a proper choice of the scaling factor for the…

We show that even if a lattice Dirac operator satisfies the conditions consisting of locality, free of species doublings, correct continuum behavior, $\gm5$-hermiticity and the Ginsparg-Wilson relation, it does not necessarily have exact…

The spectral eta function for certain families of Dirac operators on noncommutative $3$-torus is considered and the regularity at zero is proved. By using variational techniques, we show that $\eta_{D}(0)$ is a conformal invariant. By…

We propose nonlinear Dirac equations where the conformal degree of the self-interaction terms are equal to that of the Dirac operator and the coupling parameters are dimensionless. As such, the massless equation is conformally invariant and…

We consider the massless Dirac operator with the MIT bag boundary conditions on an unbounded three-dimensional circular cone. For convex cones, we prove that this operator is self-adjoint defined on four-component $H^1$--functions…

Starting from the chiral Lagrangian for Wilson fermions at nonzero lattice spacing we have obtained compact expressions for all spectral correlation functions of the Hermitian Wilson Dirac operator in the $\epsilon$-domain of QCD with…

We revisit the lattice index theorem in the perspective of $K$-theory. The standard definition given by the overlap Dirac operator equals to the $\eta$ invariant of the Wilson Dirac operator with a negative mass. This equality is not…

Consider a formally self-adjoint first order linear differential operator acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued scalar fields over a 4-manifold without boundary. We examine the geometric content of such an operator and show that it…

We revisit the problem of determining the zero modes of the Dirac operator on the Eguchi-Hanson space. It is well known that there are no normalisable zero modes, but such zero modes do appear when the Dirac operator is twisted by a $U(1)$…
